FOREWORD 

The  crowning  event  in  the  life  of  a  professional  soldier  is  to 
command  troops  in  actual  battle.  To  me  came  the  honor  of  com- 
manding the  29th  Division  from  its  organization,  in  August,  1917, 
throughout  its  period  of  training  (with  the  exception  of  a  short 
time  spent  on  detached  service  or  on  leave),  during  its  occupation 
of  a  defensive  sector  and  in  the  greatest  battle  in  which  an 
American  army  has  ever  participated,  or,  for  that  matter,  the 
greatest  battle  which  history  itself  records. 

On  August  25th,  1917,  with  a  few  members  of  my  staiBP,  I 
arrived  at  the  little  southern  city  of  Anniston,  Alabama,  and 
after  a  dusty  ride  over  six  miles  of  almost  impassable  roads, 
reached  the  reservation  in  the  foot  hills  which  had  been  selected 
as  a  southern  encampment,  named  in  honor  of  a  distinguished 
northern  general, — Camp  McClellan. 

As  the  days  passed  and  one  after  another  of  the  National 
Guard  units  from  New  Jersey,  Maryland,  Virginia,  Delaware, 
and  the  District  of  Columbia  arrived,  most  of  them  but  partially 
equipped  and  not  all  of  them  even  bearing  arms,  and  with  more 
than  half  their  number  recruits,  it  took  a  generous  stretch  of  the 
imagination  to  see  in  this  beginning  the  magnificent  fighting 
unit  which  was  to  take  form  later,  and  which  was  destined  to  win 
for  itself  immortal  glory  in  the  greatest  of  all  wars.  The  task  which 
I  faced  was  no  easy  one,  but  thanks  to  the  adaptability  of  the 
average  American,  his  sportsmanlike  qualities,  his  inherent 
patriotbm,  and  his  zeal  to  succeed  in  the  enterprise  immediately 
before  him,  and  thanks  to  the  devoted  and  intelligent  assistance 
of  those  splendid  oflScers  composing  my  staff,  order  soon  came  out 
of  apparent  chaos  and  the  organization  of  the  division  was 
effected. 

The  great  majority  of  the  officers  and  men  were  as  fine 
material  as  ever  composed  any  unit  of  any  army,  but  with  few 
exceptions  they  were  untrained  and  unskilled  in  the  art  of  war. 
Intensive  training  was  immediately  begun,  and  continued 
throughout  the  stay  of  the  division  at  McClellan, — ^nor  could  the 

[viil 


FOREWORD 

stem  necessity  of  perfecting  the  division  as  a  fighting  unit  yield 
to  the  stress  of  weather, — the  worst  which  any  winter  had  brought 
to  that  section  for  many  years.  It  was  the  first  test  of  the  mettle 
of  the  men  who  were  later  to  demonstrate  conclusively  to  a 
stubborn  enemy  the  fine  temper  of  their  steel.  Hardships  there 
were  in  plenty,  but  these  were  borne  with  the  same  spirit  of 
devotion  to  duty  and  willingness  to  sacrifice  which  enabled  the 
men  of  the  division  later  to  meet  greater  hardships  and  finally 
to  march  with  heads  erect  and  eyes  front  into  the  very  jaws  of 
death. 

Discipline  in  the  division  from  the  first  was  of  the  sternest 
kind.  Officers  and  men  alike  were  ruled  with  an  iron  hand,  but 
I  came  to  love  them  as  a  father  loves  his  children. 

The  division  was  composed  of  men  from  practically  every 
state  in  the  Union  and  represented  all  of  the  strains  which  have 
contributed  to  the  greatness  of  our  country — ^in  a  word,  a  cross 
section  of  the  American  republic.  The  sturdy  independence  and 
individualism  so  characteristic  of  the  American  youth  had  to  be 
curbed  in  order  that  a  fighting  unit  might  be  created.  The  task 
was  to  create  and  develop  an  organization,  and  in  this  develop- 
ment the  individual  must  needs  subordinate  his  will  and  his 
freedom  of  action  to  the  common  good. 

Officers  and  men  from  the  regular  service,  officers  and  men 
from  the  reserve  corps,  and  officers  and  men  trom  the  new  so 
called  National  Army,  had  to  be  assimilated  and  welded  together 
in  this  National  Guard  Division  for  the  purpose  of  creating  a 
fighting  unit,  and  whereas  at  first  there  were  cases  of  surface 
friction  among  those  many  different  classes,  as  might  have  been 
expected,  I  can  say  truthfully  and  with  pride  that  all  such  ficti- 
tious differences  in  designation  were  soon  wiped  out:  the  standard 
for  one  and  all  alike  was  military  efficiency;  and  when  the  division 
met  its  crucial  test  in  battle,  these  differences,  if  they  had  ever 
existed,  had  been  long  forgotten  and  obliterated  and  the  29th 
Division  was  a  unit  of  the  United  States  Army,  meeting  fully 
the  one  requirement,  one  hundred  per  cent  Americanism. 

In  course  of  time  our  training  on  this  side  was  completed  and 
the  eagerly  awaited  orders  to  proceed  to  France  were  received. 
The  transfer  from  our  training  quarters  at  Camp  McClellan  to 
our  training  quarters  in  France  was  soon  effected  and  in  July, 

vin  1 


FOREWORD 

1918,  the  division  found  itself  shortly  after  its  arrival  in  France 
preparing  to  take  over  from  a  French  division  a  section  of  the 
Alsatian  front.  A  period  of  two  and  a  half  months  in  the  trenches 
gave  to  our  men,  already  thoroughly  hardened  and  disciplined, 
that  experience  under  fire  which  is  so  necessary  a  preparation  for 
battle.  Officers  and  men  soon  found  themselves.  They  met  their 
baptism  of  fire  with  the  coolness  of  veterans.  They  suffered  the 
hardships  which  the  necessities  of  the  service  imposed  uncom- 
plainingly and  even  eagerly,  realizing  that  it  was  a  preparation 
for  the  even  harder  and  more  glorious  days  which  were  yet  to 
come.  Here  also  the  division  received  its  first  battle  casualties 
and  the  men  fully  realized  that  the  days  of  peace  time  training 
were  over  and  that  soon  they  were  to  meet  the  final  test  of  a 
soldier's  fitness — the  ordeal  of  battle. 

In  the  last  days  of  September,  orders  came  transferring  the 
division  to  the  First  American  Army — the  discomforts  of  our 
night  marches,  the  dirty,  bleak  billets,  the  bivouacs  in  the  cold 
and  muddy  woods  will  be  remembered  as  long  as  memory  lasts. 
The  early  days  of  October  found  us  billeted  and  bivouacked  in 
and  around  the  historic  city  which  holds  so  strong  a  place  in  the 
affections  of  the  world, — ^Verdun,  in  the  Citadel  of  which  Division 
Headquarters  were  located. 

On  the  morning  of  the  8th  of  October,  after  slight  artillery 
preparation,  as  the  hinge,  so  to  speak,  to  the  gate  whose  outer 
edge  was  at  the  North  Sea,  our  division  jumped  off  as  part  of 
the  17th  French  Corps,  participating  in  its  first  battle.  The  cool- 
ness, the  dash  and  the  endurance  of  the  men  of  the  29th  Division 
during  the  three  weeks  they  were  in  this  battle,  is  beyond  all 
praise.  The  iron  discipline,  the  hard  and  continuous  training,  told, 
and  the  division  acquitted  itself  in  a  manner  worthy  of  the 
material  of  which  it  was  composed,  and  which  fulfilled  the  highest 
expectations  of  its  commander. 

After  having  successfully  stood  the  ordeal  of  battle,  the  divi- 
sion was  withdrawn  from  the  line  on  the  29th  of  October,  and  on 
the  morning  of  the  11th  of  November,  with  Division  Headquarters 
at  Robert-Espagne,  we  were  proceeding  under  orders  to  join 
the  Second  American  Army  for  its  attack  on  Metz,  when  our 
previous  orders  were  countermanded  and  we  knew  the  armistice 
had  been  signed,  and  that  our  days  of  fighting  were  at  an  end. 

[ix] 


FOREWORD 

Many  vacant  places  there  were  in  the  ranks  of  the  division. 
Many  splendid  men  and  gallant  o£Bcers  had  met  unflinchingly 
and  gloriously  a  soldier's  death — ^for  country.  The  battle  casualties 
suffered  were  almost  one-third  of  the  strength  of  the  division. 
The  results  as  o£Bcially  recorded  were  an  advance  of  eight  kilo- 
meters into  the  enemy's  lines,  iySOO  prisoners  captured,  many 
cannon  and  machine  guns,  and  other  materiel  of  war  unnumbered. 

We  returned  to  the  United  States  in  May,  strengthened  and 
improved  mentally  and  physically,  broadened  in  our  outlook 
upon  life,  and  with  an  infinitely  deeper  appreciation  of  the 
greatness  of  our  country  and  of  its  destiny. 

It  would  be  amiss  to  conclude  this  foreword  without  paying 
tribute  to  the  gallant  allies  under  whom  and  with  whom  we  fought. 
Imbued  with  the  spirit  of  crusaders,  our  men  first  had  felt  that 
they  were  paying  a  long  overdue  debt  to  the  people  of  that  great 
country,  which  had  aided  us  so  signally  in  our  own  fight  for  free- 
dom, but  soon  they  came  to  feel  that  this  was  not  entirely  true; 
rather  were  they  fighting  shoulder  to  shoulder  to  preserve 
not  alone  the  freedom  of  France,  but  our  own  freedom  as  well. 
The  ever-present  courtesy,  and  thie  many  individual  acts  of  kind- 
ness on  the  part  of  the  people  of  France,  and  their  deep  apprecia- 
tion not  only  of  the  actual,  tangible  assistance  of  America,  but  of 
the  broad  idealism  of  our  country,  will  always  be  gratefully 
remembered,  and  we  will  carry  with  us  through  life  a  realization 
of  the  imperishable  glory  which  was  France. 

The  Blue  and  Gray  Division  has  passed  out  of  existence,, 
and  the  men  who  composed  it  have  returned  to  their  homes  to 
take  up  the  broken  threads  of  their  civilian  employment,  yet 
the  glorious  achievements  of  the  division  will  live  in  history, 
a  source  of  inspiration  and  pride  to  our  children  and  our  children'^ 
children;  and  as  for  me,  when,  upon  arriving  in  America  I  bade 
farewell  to  the  oflScers  and  men  who  had  gone  with  me  through 
the  trying  days  just  over,  I  realized  that  the  greatest  honor  that 
could  ever  come  to  me  had  been  mine,  and  it  was  with  feelings 
of  mingled  pride  and  grief  that  I  saw  end  that  magnificent  organi- 
zation, into  the  making  of  which  there  had  gone  so  much  of  our 
personalities,  our  ambitions,  our  patriotism,  our  sufferings,  our 
sacrifices, — and  above  all,  the  supreme  sacrifices  of  our  heroic 
dead. 

[X] 


FOREWORD 

In  conclusion  I  send  this  word  to  the  men  who  were  under 
my  command:  My  best  wishes  go  with  you  always.  As  the 
shadows  of  life  deepen  around  you  may  you  remember  not  the 
things,  and  they  were  many,  which  must  needs  have  been  dis- 
agreeable, but  may  you  remember  only  the  spirit  of  comradeship 
and  of  unity  and  of  willingness  to  sacrifice,  which  was  the  con- 
trolling, guiding  spirit  of  the  division — that  you  may  take  back 
with  you  into  your  civilian  life  those  high  ideals  of  discipline  and 
that  fine  sense  of  duty  which  you  had  as  soldiers  of  the  39th 
Division,  b  the  earnest  wish  of  your  old  comhiander.

INTRODUCTION 

In  preparing  a  history  of  the  29th  Division,  the  Historical 
Committee  have  endeavored  not  so  much  to  make  a  technical 
contribution  to  the  general  history  of  the  war  as,  first,  to  provide 
for  the  men  who  composed  the  division  and  their  families  an 
authentic  account  of  the  organization  of  the  division  and  of  the 
daily  life  of  the  men  composing  it  from  the  time  of  its  organization 
until  it  was  disbanded  and  its  members  returned  again  to  their 
occupations  and  professions;  and,  secondly,  to  preserve  as  a 
permanent  record  the  name  of  every  man  who  was  at  any  time 
a  member  of  the  division. 

The  history  is  the  work  of  busy  men  who  neither  have  the 
time  nor  the  talent  for  the  study  of  phraseology  and  the  prepara- 
tion of  literature.  They  have  undertaken  their  task  in  the  same 
spirit  in  which  they  have  undertaken  many  another,  even  more 
difficult,  in  the  years  so  recently  past — ^because  they  were  told 
to  do  it,  and  because  they  shared  fully  the  pride  which  every 
former  member  has  in  the  record  of  the  achievements  of  the 
"Blue  and  Gray"  Division  and  a  natural  desire  to  see  that  record 
preserved. 

Although  an  effort  was  made  to  secure  the  services  of  a  trained 
historical  writer,  not  only  did  financial  considerations  intervene, 
but  also  it  soon  became  evident  that  the  daily  hfe  of  the  division 
could  hardly  be  interpreted  by  anyone  who  had  not  lived  it. 
The  Historical  Committee  were,  therefore,  compelled  to  take  up 
in  person  the  task  of  composition  in  order  that  it  might  be  done 
as  they  felt  their  fellow-members  of  the  29th  wished  it  done  and 
within  a  reasonable  time  after  the  disbanding  of  the  division. 

We  hope  it  will  be  remembered  in  reading  the  pages  which 
follow  that  where  criticisms  are  made,  they  are  not  written  down 
to  wound  or  injure  the  feelings  of  anyone,  but  rather  are  sub- 
mitted in  response  to  a  feeling  of  solemn  obligation  to  our  country 
to  tell  things  as  they  were  so  that  in  future  emergencies  and  in 
future  wars — and  we  are  not  so  optimistic  as  to  believe  there  will 
not  be  future  wars  so  long  as  human  nature  remains  the  same — 
the  89m^  costly,  and,  as  it  seemed,  needless  mistakes  need  not

recur.  We  particularly  do  not  desire  to  seem  to  dwell  upon  the 
relation  of  the  regular  army  oflBcer  to  his  brother  oflSeer  of  the 
civilian  army,  or  to  criticize  unkindly  or  unnecessarily  our  friends 
and  our  comrades  of  the  regular  army  who  served  with  this 
National  Guard  Division.  Rather  shall  we  endeavor,  as  a  duty  to 
them,  to  ourselves,  and  to  America  to  point  out  to  the  reader,  in 
passing,  that  the  ills  which  were  suffered  unnecessarily,  the  mis- 
takes which  were  made  and  the  delays  which  were  experienced, 
were  caused  not  by  the  individual  officer  of  the  regular  army, 
but  were  due  instead  to  a  defective  military  system.  This  system 
had  not  been  established  with  a  far-sighted  idea  of  expansion  in 
time  of  stress.  It  had  been  allowed  to  grow  into  a  top-heavy 
machine,  without  resiliency,  and  was  restrained  by  so  many  laws 
and  regulations  that,  in  the  final  analysis,  to  no  class  of  officers 
in  the  service  was  greater  injustice  done,  in  many  individual  cases, 
than  to  the  regular  army  officers  themselves. 

As  a  nation,  Americans  had  come  to  look  upon  our  regular 
army  as  a  thing  apart  and  not  as  an  important  element  of  the 
executive  branch  of  our  government,  meriting  and  needing 
sympathetic  and  practical  assistance.  Nor  did  we  realize  to  what 
extent  we  had  to  rely  upon  the  regular  army  as  the  skeleton  upon 
which  to  build  the  great  national  army,  which,  modem  condi- 
tions demand,  must  be  created,  organized,  equipped  and  officered 
when  a  great  democracy  enters  into  a  struggle  along  side  of 
other  great  nations  against  the  leading  military  powers  of  the 
world.  On  the  other  hand,  we  do  not  desire  to  draw  any  inferences 
affecting  the  patriotism  and  the  devotion  to  duty  of  the  National 
Guard  officers,  when  we  publish,  as  we  feel  we  must  in  order  that 
this  book  may  be  as  complete  and  accurate  as  possible,  the  facts 
showing  how  many  of  them  failed  to  survive  the  period  of  training. 
They  again  were  the  victims  of  a  system  which  had  caused  them 
to  be  regarded  in  times  of  peace  as  a  sort  of  auxiliary  police  force 
that  lent  itself  to  the  use  of  political  influence  upon  the  "Powers 
That  Be  "  in  order  to  procure  the  appointment,  for  political  reasons 
only,  of  officers  thoroughly  untrained  in  the  art  of  war,  to  the 
command  of  units,  which,  when  expanded  to  meet  the  needs  and 
requirements  of  modem  warfare,  were  almost  as  great  in  point 
of  numbers  as  were  armies  in  the  days  of  our  own  War  between 
the  States. 

We  have  endeavored,  so  far  as  possible,  to  tell  the  story  of 

[  xxxviii  ] 


INTRODUCTION 

the  division's  life  and  activities  in  the  language  and  in  the  terms 
of  the  men  in  the  ranks,  remembering  that  all  things,  even 
the  beauties  of  France  itself,  take  on  a  very  different  aspect  when 
seen  from  the  seat  of  a  comfortable  automobile  than  when  seen 
from  the  doors  of  a  French  box  car.  Wherever  practicable,  an 
effort  has  been  made  to  quote  literally  from  the  manuscripts 
supplied  by  the  various  historians  of  the  divisional  units. 

We  feel  we  should  offer  our  thanks  to  the  men  who  wrote  these 
histories  of  the  smaller  units  and  thus  made  available  for  the 
Historical  Conmiittee  a  wealth  of  material.  If  we  have  not  seemed 
to  use  throughout  the  narrative,  as  generously  as  those  unit 
historians  think  should  be  the  case,  the  data  which  they  have 
supplied,  we  hope  they  will  remember  that  we  are  literally 
embarrassed  by  the  ridies  which  they  have  offered  us  in  the 
accounts  of  some  phases  of  the  service  of  their  units,  while  hard 
put  to  maintain  the  connected  story  at  other  times  because  of 
the  paucity  of  the  data.  A  certain  period  may  be  treated  fully 
by  all  of  the  unit  historians,  while  another  is  scarcely  touched 
upon.  For  instance,  the  momentous  trip  across  a  submarine- 
infested  ocean  and  the  arrival  on  the  historic  soil  of  France  is 
thus  succinctly  told  by  one  company  historian : 


**Mal  de  mer  took  the  first  toll  of  casualties  in  the  company  just 
as  might  be  expected.  A  stout  heart  cannot  always  guarantee  the 
performance  of  a  weak  stomach.  Within  a  few  days  the  men  were 
up  again  *  rajing  to  go '  and  eating  everything  above  board  and  below. 
Submarine  spotting  was  the  next  diversion,  being  the  first  taste  of 
war  excitement  itself.  However,  everything  passed  quietly  along 
the  Atlantic  so  far  as  the  Finland  was  concerned,  and  on  the  27th 
of  June,  the  looked-for  France  was  sighted.  The  transport  docked 
that  evening  at  St.  Nazaire.'' 

This  sprightly  writer  describes  his  first  impressions  of  the 
French  transportation  method  and  the  first  trip  of  his  org:anization 
toward  the  great  front  as  follows : 

"'On  July  Srd,  camp  was  broken  early  for  the  purpose  of  an  intro- 
duction to  the  'hommes  40,  chevaux  8'  which  were  to  transport  the 
troops  to  the  Front.  It  was  an  introduction  the  men  did  not  clamor 
for  and  would  have  declined  gladly,  for  as  one  private  drawled  after 
taking  a  good  look  at  the  dinky  shacks  on  wheels,  *Lord,  they  sure 
are  hard  on  horses  here'.  But  at  the  word  of  command,  all  pUed  in 
and  the  peanut  roller  engine  with  a  toot  of  its  tin  whistle  jerked  the 

[  xxxix  ] 


INTRODUCTION 

train  off  eastward.  Two  days  of  bully  beef»  canned  tomatoes,  hard 
tack  and  coffee,  with  nights  that  grew  corns  on  all  parts  of  the 
anatomy  brought  the  regiment  to  Champlitte  where  the  troops 
detrained,  and  Companies  M  and  L  marched  by  themselves  to  Gilley 
where  they  went  into  training  for  a  period  of  two  weeks.  'Deluxing' 
with  'chevaux  8'  had  prepared  the  boys  for  these  biUets  which  were 
most  often  the  former  abodes  of  the  same  animals  that  had  rated 
the  cars.  However,  the  boys  did  not  weaken.  They  were  after  the 
Hun  and  would  have  prepared  in  pig  sties,  if  necessary.'' 

Another  writer  tells  his  story  of  even  the  most  sanguinary 
battle  in  terms  of  food  supply.  The  war  to  him  is  a  grim  and  grue- 
some spectacle  only  when  the  ration  carriers  are  blown  up  by 
high  explosive^  but  if  the  ^'chow*'  arrives  and  is  reasonably  hot, 
the  outlook  for  an  allied  victory  is  most  hopeful.  Yet  another 
historian  sees  war  in  terms  only  of  feminine  charm;  his  main 
objection  to  the  period  of  fighting,  actual  battle,  is  the  separation 
from  fair  faces  and  graceful  forms,  and  his  one  hope  of  a  success- 
ful outcome  of  any  encounter  is  that  of  a  wound,  not  severe 
enough  to  kill,  but  sufficiently  serious  to  promise  a  reasonable 
time  in  a  hospital,  with  the  attentions  of  a  pretty  nurse  guaranteed. 

Still  another  and,  it  must  be  admitted  regretfully,  the  most 
flagrant  offender  is  the  historian  whose  vision  cannot  rise  higher 
than  his  hob-nailed  shoes.  To  him  the  war  is  indeed  ^'a  war  of 
movement.''  Adopting  the  style  of  the  famous  Xenophon  he 
describes  the  travels  of  his  unit  in  the  same  brief,  terse  manner, 
substituting  the  kilometer  as  a  imit  of  measure  for  the  parasang 
— "Today  we  marched  18  kilometers." 

Incidentally,  we  earnestly  hope  that  no  one  will  be  shocked 
at  the  language  which  occasionally  is  employed  in  telling  the  story 
of  the  division.  It  is  the  language  of  fighting  men  who  were  away 
from  home  amid  strange  surroundings  and  who  have  adopted  a 
vernacular  and  language  all  their  own.  Strong  sentiments  and 
emotions  require  for  their  expression  the  vehicle  of  strong  lan- 
guage. 

If  the  future  writers  of  military  laws  and  policies  of  this 
country,  and  the  future  writers  of  histories  of  this  war,  can  secure 
from  these  pages  any  suggestions  of  value  to  them  respectively 
in  their  work,  we  shall  feel  that  our  efforts  have  not  been  without 
a  measure  of  success.  And,  too,  if  any  considerable  number  of  our 
former  comrades  shall  feel  that  we  have  correctly  interpreted  for 
them,  their  friends  and  their  families,  the  life  and  activities  and

INTRODUCTION 

the  glorious  history  of  the  29th  Division ;  and  if  the  casual  reader 
who  took  no  actual  part  in  these  stirring  days  through  which  we 
passed,  shall  be  able  to  read  and  understand  clearly  the  hardships 
which  were  suffered,  the  dangers  which  were  borne,  and  the 
sacrifices  which  were  made  by  the  fighting  men,  all  of  which  were 
endured  in  order  that  our  own  institutions  might  be  preserved 
and  our  safety  as  a  nation  assured,  we  shall  feel  ourselves  amply 
repaid  for  the  eflFort  and  the  time  which  we  have  given  to  this 
work. 

In  conclusion  we  desire  only  that  the  individual  soldier  and 
the  conmiander  of  the  particular  units  will  realize  that  in  a  work 
of  this  scope,  it  is  impossible  to  give  to  every  individual  and  to 
each  organization  that  prominence  and  fulness  of  treatment  which 
he  knows,  and  we,  too,  feel,  he  and  his  organization  so  justly 
merit.  Our  task — ^and  it  has  been  no  easy  one — was  to  write  the 
history  of  the  division  as  a  whole,  and  that  we  have  tried  to  do, 
having  undertaken  the  work  as  a  solemn  duty  imposed  upon  us, 
and  having  discharged  it  with  enthusiasm,  fidelity  and  zeal,  if 
not  with  entire  credit  to  ourselves. 

Finally,  we  desire  to  express  our  thanks  to  Dr.  Douglas  S. 
Freeman,  Editor  of  The  News-Leader  of  Richmond,  Virginia,  for 
his  kindness  in  reading  the  manuscript  and  for  his  many  help- 
ful suggestions  with  reference  to  the  general  arrangement  of  this 
book;  and  to  make  acknowledgment  of  the  valuable  assistance  of 
Miss  Doris  E.  Ambers,  of  Richmond,  Virginia,  in  preparing  the 
manuscript,  and  of  Major  W.  W.  LaPrade,  formerly  of  the  111th

On  a  hot  summer's  day  in  1917, — Saturday,  August  25th — 
Major  James  A.  Ulio,  the  newly  appointed  Division  Adjutant, 
seated  himself  on  a  box  in  the  old  bungalow  which  had  been  the 
home  of  the  owner  of  a  tract  of  land,  now  become  a  military  camp, 
and  with  his  typewriter  on  another  box  in  front  of  him,  wrote  out 
"General  Orders  No.  1,  Headquarters  29th  Division,  Camp 
McCleUan,  Ala." 

Under  the  first  paragraph  of  this  order  Major-General  Charles 
G.  Morton,  United  States  Army,  in  accordance  with  telegraphic 
instructions  from  the  War  Department,  assumed  command  of 
the  division.  Under  the  second  paragraph  the  designation  of  the 
following  staff  officers  was  announced : 

^^ Personal  Staff: 

^  Captain  S.  C.  Reynolds,  16th  Cavalry,  Aide-de-Camp; 
^  Captain  Sumner  Waite,  19th  Infantry,  Aide-de-Camp. 

^^Divisional  Staff:

and  thus  automatically  relieved  as  aide.  Major  Reynolds  left  the  division  in  December 
for  duty  overseas. 

'  Captain  Waite  was  sent  abroad  for  a  course  of  study  at  the  Army  General  Staff  College. 
Upon  graduation,  he  too,  being  on  the  lineal  list,  was  promoted  major  and  was  thus 
autonuitically  relieved  as  aide.  Captain  Percy  A.  Chapman,  U.  S.  R.,  formerly  acting 
aide,  succeeded  to  the  vacancy  upon  the  promotion  of  Major  Waite. 

'The  General  Staff  Section  of  the  Division  was  completed  by  the  appointment  under 
instructions  from  the  War  Department,  Sept.  26, 1917,  of  Captain  John  A.  Cutohins, 
formerly  of  the  1st  Squadron  Va.  Cavalry,  as  second  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff,  G.  O.

Troop  A,  Maryland  Cavalry,  and  Battery  A,  Field  Artillery, 
Maryland  National  Guard,  which  had  arrived  in  advance  of 
their  respective  regiments  and  battalions,  were  designated  for 
the  performance  of  military  police  duties  in  the  camp  and  vicinity. 

Camp  McCUUan. 

Camp  McClellan  was  an  attractive  rolling  stretch  of  land 
containing  some  19,000  acres,  negotiations  for  the  purchase  of 
which  for  an  artillery  training  camp  and  range  had  been  begun 
by  the  Government  in  1915.  The  original  contract  of  purchase 
had  been  signed  by  General  Charles  P.  Summerall  on  behalf  of 
the  United  States  in  March  1917.  The  Chamber  of  Commerce 
of  Anniston  had  agreed  to  buy  in  the  property  and  sell  it  to  the 
Government  in  one  parcel  for  the  sum  of  $247,475,  but  the 
Chamber  actually  had  to  pay  $381,187.74  for  the  tract.  The 
difference  was  made  up  by  the  citizens  of  Anniston.  Thus  early 
Camp  McClellan  had  two  distinct  claims  to  fame:  it  was  not  a 
war-time  camp,  but  had  been  purchased  before  our  entry  into 
the  war,  and,  secondly,  it  had  cost  the  Government  less  than  it 
cost  someone  else.  These  are  corollary  propositions,  for  in  war 
times  the  rise  in  prices  and  patriotism  usually  seems  to  go  hand 
in  hand. 

The  camp  itself  was  beautifully  located  in  the  foot  hills  of 
the  Blue  Ridge  Mountains  about  1000  feet  above  sea  level,  in 
the  northwestern  section  of  Alabama  some  forty  miles  from  the 
Georgia  border,  and  was  particularly  well  adapted  for  artillery 
work,  with  a  mountain  range  running  along  its  southern  and 
another  along  its  eastern  edge.  The  camp  bordered  on  the  city 

*  Brigadier-General  Charles  W.  Barber,  of  New  Jersey, 

[3] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

limits  of  Anniston  to  the  northeast,  though  from  the  center  of 
the  camp  to  the  city  proper  was  about  six  miles. 

Work  on  the  construction  of  the  camp  was  begun  July  23rd, 
1917,  and  was  delayed  nine  days  by  excessive  rains.  On  August 
25th,  just  before  the  main  body  of  troops  arrived,  and  the  day 
of  the  arrival  of  General  Morton  and  his  sta£F,  the  condition 
of  the  camp,  on  paper,  was  imposing:  750  structures  had  been 
completed  in  every  detail  and  had  been  screened,  while  219  ad- 
ditional structures  had  been  completed  except  for  hardware  and 
screens;  51,870  feet  of  water  piping  had  been  placed  and  were 
in  use,  and  700  carloads  of  material  had  been  used  in  the  construc- 
tion, all  of  which  material  had  to  be  hauled  a  long  distance  by 
trains  and  trucks.  On  that  date  3000  men  were  working.  The  total 
cost  of  Camp  McClellan,  including  roads  and  railway  rights-of- 
way  into  the  camp,  was  approximately  $2,000,000.  On  this  account 
was  Camp  McClellan^s  third  claim  to  fame — the  construction 
quartermaster's  boast  that  the  buildings  at  Camp  McClellan 
were  erected  at  less  cost  to  the  Government  than  was  the  case  in 
any  other  camp  in  the  United  States. 

A  distinction  must  be  made  between  a  camp  and  a  cantonment 
in  military  parlance:  in  a  camp  the  men  lived  in  tents;  in  a  can- 
tonment the  men  were  housed  in  wooden  barracks.  Of  course, 
there  were  a  great  many  buildings  in  the  camps,  such  as  kitchens 
and  mess  halls  for  each  unit,  recreation  huts,  canteens  or  army 
exchanges,  and  the  various  headquarters  buildings,  but  officers 
and  men  alike  all  lived  in  tents.  The  camps  were  generally  occupied 
by  the  National  Guard  and  Regular  Army  Divisions  while  the 
cantonments  were  occupied  by  the  new  National  Army  Divisions. 

Although  it  had  been  published  broadcast  that  Camp 
McClellan  was  ready  for  occupancy  as  the  troops  came  in,  and 
although  Major  (afterwards  Colonel)  Charles  L.  Dulin,  of  the 
Construction  Quartermaster  Department,  displayed  a  tremendous 
amount  of  energy  and  initiative,  the  fact  remained  that  when  the 
bulk  of  the  troops  arrived  the  camp  was  far  from  ready,  and  a  con- 
siderable time  elapsed  before  their  mess  shelters  were  completed. 
In  fact  the  newly  arrived  soldiers  in  many  instances  worked  on 
the  buildings  side  by  side  with  the  high  priced  workmen,  and  the 
seed  early  was  sown  that  resulted  later  in  so  much  discontent, — 
the  disparity  of  pay  between  the  men  out  of  the  army  and  those 
in  the  army,  even  when  engaged  upon  the  same  work,  at  the  same 

[4] 


CAMP  McCLELLAN 

time,  and  under  virtually  the  same  circumstances.  The  story, 
appearing  in  the  Anniston  Star  on  August  9th,  of  the  pay  rolls 
for  the  month  of  September  well  illustrates  all  this.  The  pay  of 
the  officers  and  men  of  the  division  was  $1,092,000,  while  the  pay 
of  the  workmen  engaged  in  construction  work  for  the  same  month 
was  about  $400,000.  Inasmuch  as  there  were  over  26,000  officers 
and  men  in  the  division  at  this  time  and  about  8,000  workmen 
employed  at  the  camp,  there  was  food  for  thought  in  the  disparity 
in  compensation,  considering  the  number  of  high  ranking  officers 
then  with  the  division,  between  the  citizens  in  uniform  and  those 
in  civilian  garb.  The  man  in  uniform, — whether  recruited  from 
the  ranks  of  capital  or  of  labor — was  never  able  to  understand 
just  why  it  was  that  when  the  draft  was  put  into  eflPect  it  was 
not  made  more  general  in  its  application.  When  men  were  needed 
to  fill  the  ranks  of  the  depleted  companies  they  were  drafted  and 
sent  to  camp  at  thirty  dollars  per  month,  with  no  limit  on  their 
hours  of  work,  but  when  additional  carpenters  were  required, 
they  were  employed  at  almost  that  sum  per  day — ^and  eight  hours 
constituted  a  day !  To  the  direct  mind  of  the  soldier,  accustomed 
as  he  was  to  straight  thinking  and  straight  action,  here  was  a 
distinction  he  could  not  comprehend.  Had  the  wise  men  who  ran 
the  government  thought  as  directly  and  as  justly  and  drafted 
all  of  the  man  power  of  the  nation,  and  assigned  a  soldier  here,  a 
lawyer,  an  engineer,  a  carpenter,  a  bridge  builder  there,  fewer 
"after- war  problems"  would  be  calling  now  for  solution. 

General  Morton  and  his  staflf  were  welcomed  to  the  city  of 
Anniston  by  committees  of  its  leading  citizens,  and  the  general, 
in  turn,  made  a  very  favorable  impression  on  the  citizens  with 
whom  he  came  in  contact.  As  a  sanitary  and  hygienic  measure, 
he  immediately  directed  that  the  cheap  lunch  stands  and  other 
structures  which  had  sprung  up  like  mushrooms  around  the  camp 
grounds  should  be  closed,  and  he  asked  that  some  one  man  be 
nominated  as  the  spokesman  for  the  citizens  of  Anniston  in  their 
dealings  with  the  camp  authorities — ^someone  to  whom  the  camp 
authorities  might  come  to  present  any  matter  upon  which  action 
by  the  citizens  was  desired.  This  plan  met  with  general  approval, 
and  Mr.  W.  P.  Acker,  of  Anniston,  was  selected  as  the  spokesman 
for  the  citizens.  Some  of  the  interviews  between  him  and  General 
Morton,  from  time  to  time,  could  they  have  been  dramatized, 
would  have  made  vaudeville  sketches  of  a  high  order  of  merit. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

The  Troops  Arrive^ — Rumors  and  Heartaches. 

On  August  28th,  it  was  announced  that  the  Fourth  Virginia 
Infantry  was  expected  to  arrive  during  the  night,  and  that  the 
Third  New  Jersey  Infantry  and  Second  Virginia  Infantry  had 
been  ordered  to  report. 

Rumors  flew  thick  and  fast  as  each  organization  arrived.  Two 
rumors  created  a  great  sensation:  First,  General  Morton  was 
quoted  as  having  said  that  he  intended  to  have  discipline  such 
as  the  Regular  Army  had  never  known  and  the  National  Guard 
never  imagined.  Then  it  was  reported  that  all  old  units  would  be 
broken  up  and  that  a  reorganization  would  be  immediately 
effected.  The  resulting  heartaches  may  be  imagined. 

There  can  never  be  anything  approaching  unanimity  of 
opinion  as  to  the  wisdom  of  the  method  adopted  by  the  authorities 
to  bring  about  the  organization  of  the  National  Guard  Divisions. 
To  make  no  harsher  criticism,  it  can  be  said  that  whatever  of 
value  there  was  in  the  pride  of  organization,  or  esprit^  entertained 
by  the  men  of  the  famous  old  organizations  composing  the 
National  Guard  divisions, — ^and  in  no  division  were  there  more 
famous  old  commands  than  in  the  29th — either  was  not  valued 
and  appreciated,  or  else  was  destroyed  ruthlessly. 

The  previous  plans,  if  there  were  any,  of  the  General  Staff, 
and  the  old  tables  of  organization  underwent  radical  changes 
during  the  latter  part  of  July.  These  changes  probably  were  made 
on  the  advice  of  the  various  Allied  Missions  then  in  Washington, 
as  well  as  on  the  observation  of  our  own  professional  officers,  of 
conditions  created  by  the  European  War.  The  previous  organiza- 
tion of  an  infantry  regiment,  for  example,  had  called  for  three 
battalions,  composed  of  four  rifle  companies  of  three  officers  and 
one  hundred  men  each.  The  new  tables  of  organization  called  for 
the  same  number  of  battalions  but  for  companies  composed  of 
six  officers  and  two  hundred  and  fifty  men.  Thus  it  was  that  an 
infantry  regimental  commander  had  under  his  personal  command 
practically  as  many  men  as  composed  a  brigade  in  either  army 
during  the  War  between  the  States.  In  addition  to  this  great 
numerical  superiority,  each  regiment  had  a  larger  staff,  a  Head- 
quarters Company,  now  made  up  of  a  One-Pounder  Gun  Platoon, 

^  The  113th  Ambulance  Company,  formerly  the  1st  Maryland  Ambulance  Company, 
among  the  first  units  to  arrive,  claims  that  the  Stars  and  Stripes  were  first  unfurled 
at  Camp  McClellan,  from  the  top  of  its  flag  pole. 

[6] 


THE  TROOPS  ARRIVE— RUMORS  AND  HEARTACHES 

a  Signal  Platoon,  a  Pioneer  Platoon,  and  other  specialties,  while 
there  was  also  added  to  the  regiment  an  enlarged  Supply  Company 
and  a  Machine  Gun  Company.  It  will  be  seen,  therefore,  that  a 
regimental  conmiander  not  only  must  be  an  infantry  officer  of 
considerable  experience  and  attainments,  but  also  must  have  a 
working  knowledge  of  the  use  and  employment  of  the  machine 
gun  and  the  new  infantry  weapons;  while  the  regiment  itself, 
under  the  new  tables  of  organization,  was  three  or  four  times  as 
large  as  the  old  National  Guard  regiments  had  been. 

It  is  violating  no  secret  to  say  that  few,  if  any,  of  the  officers 
who  reported  at  Camp  McClellan  under  the  orders  already 
quoted,  were  possessed  of  the  ability  necessary  to  handle  a  war- 
strength  regiment  at  that  time.  There  was,  however,  among  the 
officers,  and  particularly  among  the  junior  officers  of  the  National 
Guard  regiments,  a  tremendous  amount  of  good  material.  It 
should  be  noted  in  fairness  to  those  officers  who  subsequently 
lost  their  commands  that  they,  like  their  brothers  of  the  regular 
service,  had  been  the  victims  of  an  ill-considered,  narrow-minded 
military  policy  which  had  resulted  in  the  average  battalion  or 
regimental  commander  getting  not  more  than  two  weeks'  training 
with  his  command  during  the  year;  and,  further,  that  these 
officers  were  good,  bad  or  indifferent,  according  as  the  military 
spirit  was  high  or  low  in  the  communities  from  which  they  came, 
and  also  accordingly  as  politics  rather  than  efficiency  had  or 
had  not  dictated  their  selection.  It  can  be  said  that,  to  a  certain 
degree,  exactly  the  same  criticism  might  be  made  of  the  regular 
army  officers,  especially  of  those  in  the  higher  grades. 

An  organization  upon  arrival  at  Camp  McClellan  would  be 
hurried  from  the  trains,  formed  up  and  marched  through  miles 
of  heavy  dust  or  mud  to  a  hillside  covered  with  stumps.  Then 
the  men  were  told  that  there  would  be  their  camp.  No  criticism  of 
this  could  rightly  come  from  men  who  had  even  a  day's  experience, 
for  they  readily  realized  that  the  work  of  preparation  for  war  was 
one  which  carried  with  it  hardships  no  less  than  did  actual  war 
itself. — ^These  accordingly  were  accepted  for  the  most  part  without 
complaint  or  question,  though  the  thought  of  the  old  ties  which 
must  needs  be  broken  and  of  the  separations  which  the  many 
rumors  presaged  was  not  a  welcome  one. 

The  first  days  after  arrival  were  busy  days.  Every  moment 
from  sunrise  to  sunset  was  given  over  to  the  necessary  work  of 

[7] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

laying  out  company  streets  and  camp  sites,  and  generally,  to 
preparing  the  place  which  was  to  be  the  future  home  of  the  division 
for  many  months  to  come. 

Reserve  Officers  Arrive  from  Camp  Meade. 

On  the  morning  of  September  3rd,  1917,  154  newly  commis- 
sioned reserve  oflScers  from  the  Reserve  OflScers  Training  Camps 
arrived  at  Anniston  from  Camp  Meade,  Maryland,  and  were 
attached  to  the  various  units  of  the  division^  The  arrival  of  these 
men  at  this  time  created  somewhat  of  a  problem  because  of  the 
already  large  surplusage  of  National  Guard  officers  in  the  division. 
Then,  too,  there  was  the  very  natural  feeling  on  the  part  of  the 
National  Guard  officers  generally  that  where  men  had  formerly 
been  in  federal  service  for  a  long  period  of  time,  and  had  again 
been  in  service  for  months  doing  guard  duty  as  non-commissioned 
officers  in  the  National  Guard,  they  should  be  promoted  to  the 
junior  commissioned  grades  where  vacancies  existed.  The  mis- 
taken policy  in  sending  these  young  officers,  excellent  material 
though  they  were,  was  soon  recognized  by  the  War  Department, 
with  the  result  that  the  officers  themselves  were  allowed  to  exercise 
the  option  of  either  remaining  with  the  29th  Division  or  else  of 
being  sent  to  the  National  Guard  or  National  Army  Divisions 
formed  of  men  from  their  respective  states*.  Those  who  did  not 
express  preference  and  for  whom  no  vacancies  existed  were  later 
relieved'  and  sent  to  Camp  Lee,  Virginia.  Some  of  this  group  of 
reserve  officers  who  elected  to  stay^  at  Camp  McClellan  remained 
with  the  division  throughout  its  period  of  service,  attained  in 
most  cases  to  higher  rank,  and  served  with  the  utmost  credit  to 
themselves  and  to  their  organizations. 

DriU  Scliedides — Schools. 

On  September  4th,  the  routine  of  daily  service  calls  was 
published,  and  the  camp  settled  down  as  far  as  it  could  in  view  of 
the  general  disorganization  and  the  many  rumors  to  an  observance

organization,  "including  colonels  and  excepting  such  staff  officers 
as  were  prevented  by  specific  duty  from  so  doing",  were  ordered 
to  attend  reveille  and  retreat.  Brigade  Commanders  were  directed 
to  supervise  roll  calls.  This,  in  very  truth,  was  such  discipline  as 
the  Regular  Army  "had  never  known." 

By  this  order  a  system  of  school  work  at  nights  for  all  commis- 
sioned and  non-commissioned  officers  was  prescribed,  and  began 
daily  at  7  o'clock.  Half  holidays  on  Wednesday  and  Saturday 
were  ordered,  except  for  backward  men,  and  in  their  cases  this 
time  was  used  in  additional  instruction.  It  was  believed  and 
maintained  by  many  of  the  officers  in  charge  of  the  training  that 
this  schedule  required  too  much  work  of  comparatively  green 
men,  and  that  after  the  first  enthusiasm  for  the  new  life  they  were 
living,  and  after  the  first  flood  of  patriotic  endeavor  to  prepare 
themselves  for  actual  service  as  soon  as  possible  had  subsided, 
there  would  be  an  unfavorable  reaction  as  a  result  of  the  strain 
which  everyone  was  under. 

To  the  new  soldier  entering  a  military  camp  for  the  first  time 
life  seemed  hard  indeed  with  its  constant  schedule  of  work  and  the 
many  orders  and  restrictions  which  continually  hedged  him  about. 
When  in  order  to  conserve  water  a  general  order  was  issued  to 
the  effect  that  brigade  commanders  should  designate  the  time 
for  the  men  of  their  organizations  to  bathe,  he  began  to  feel  that 
his  life  was  regulated  for  him  to  the  extent  he  had  never  before 
dreamed  of — and  indeed  such  was  the  case.  Other  orders  were 
issued,  providing  that  all  officers  and  men  should  wear  their 
campaign  hats  with  the  straps  under  their  chins,  and  that  every 
officer  and  man  in  the  division  should  lace  his  shoes  in  exactly 

'  "Call  To  Quarters  blows,  and  soon  Taps  will  lay  us  to  rest  for  this  day.  As  surely  as 
the  bugle  calls  of  the  day  (save  Mess  and  Pay)  are  to  be  damned,  those  of  the  night 
are  to  be  blessed.  Particularly  Taps;  no  matter  how  a  man  wearies  of  the  army, 
here  is  one  call  he  wouldn't  mind  hearing  every  night  his  life  through.  It  seems  to 
us  something  more  than  beautiful  music.  In  a  way,  it  symbolizes  and  humanises 
this  army  that  rides  your  neck  all  day,  whispering  at  night  that,  after  all,  the  army 
wishes  you  well,  and  that  it's  all  for  the  good  of  the  service.  There  are  men  who,  if 
they  go  to  bed  before  it  sounds,  lie  awake  and  await  it,  much  as  the  devout  await 
Benediction.  The  grind,  the  disgust,  the  oath  and  the  spur — ^these  it  obliterates, 
saying  all  of  our  prayers  for  us  and  sending  us  quieUy  to  sleep,  better  ready  for  another 
day."— "Captain  Boyd's  Battery"  Russell  Lord— The  Atkinson  Press,  Ithaca,  N.Y. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

the  same  way^  These  orders  were  received  at  first  not  without  a 
considerable  amount  of  what  the  army  calls  '^grouching".  As 
discipline  became  firmer,  however,  and  as  pride  in  the  division 
took  the  place  of  the  pride  which  the  men  had  felt  in  their  old 
units,  they  gladly  welcomed  the  orders  as  providing  a  distinction 
between  the  snappy  disciplined  soldier  of  the  29th  Division  and 
the  many  slouchy  men  in  uniform  then  to  be  seen  everywhere. 

'  An  amusing  incident  oocurred  as  one  of  the  New  Jersey  regiments,  at  the  port  of  embarka- 
tion, was  proceeding  to  its  barracks  at  Camp  Stuart,  near  Newport  News,  Vii^nia. 
Some  undisoeming  gentlenuui  on  the  side  lines  made  the  tactical  error  of  referring  to 
one  of  the  men  as  a  ''LtEzie  with  the  chin  strap".  Unfortunately,  the  soldier  thus 
addressed  was  a  former  priJGe  fighter,  with  one  year's  intensive  army  training  to  his 
credit.  The  argument  was  short  and  convincing  and  proved  not  only  that  the  men 
were  "proud  of  themselves",  but  that  the  gentieman  in  question  did  not  rate  an 
"excellent"  as  a  judge  of  " limes."

CHAPTER  II. 


REORGANIZATION — OLD  ORGANIZATIONS  BROKEN  UP — NEW  BRIGADES  AND 

REGIMENTS  FORMED. 


On  September  15th,  1917,  General  Orders  No.  9  were  issued, 
reorganizing  the  division  in  conformity  with  the  requirements  of 
the  Tables  of  Organization,  Series  "A",  of  August,  1917. 

The  reorganization  begun  under  this  order  was  not  entirely 
completed  for  several  months.  Owing  to  the  fact  that  General 
Morton  had  been  ordered  abroad  in  October,  completion  of  the 
work  of  reorganization  was  left  with  General  W.  C.  RaflFerty, 
who  succeeded  to  the  temporary  command  of  the  division.  The 
uncertainty  which  existed  in  the  minds  of  all  ofiScers  as  to  the 
precise  purport  of  the  plan  of  reorganization  resulted  in  con- 
siderable juggling  on  the  part  of  the  old  commanding  officers, 
who  were  not  given  commands  immediately,  to  retain  with  them 
certain  officers  and  units  they  knew  and  valued.  It  thus  happened 
that  a  great  many  valuable  officers  and  men  were  not  assigned  to 
new  commands  when  the  division  first  was  reorganized.  Surplus 
officers  and  men  were  formed  into  what  was  called  the  Depot 
Brigade.  As  this  ^"Brigade"  was  composed  of  as  many  men, 
proportionately,  as  it  should  have  had  officers,  and  of  as  many 
officers  as  it  should  have  had  men,  it  proved  to  be  a  fertile  field 
for  the  quick  growth  of  the  wildest  of  rumors.  At  the  time  when 
each  issue  of  every  daily  paper  was  filled  with  accounts  of  the 
crying  need  which  existed  for  officers  and  the  urgent  desire  for 
speed  in  the  prosecution  of  the  war,  men  who  had  graduated  at 
military  schools  and  who  had  several  years  of  more  or  less  valuable 
military  training,  were  sitting  on  a  hillside  doing  absolutely 
nothing,  with  a  constant  loss  of  initiative  and  morale,  solely 
because  there  was  no  room  for  them  in  the  newly  organized 
division.  Had  these  men,  or  a  reasonable  proportion  of  them,  been 
sent  elsewhere  to  assist  in  the  organization  of  new  units,  their 
services  might  have  been  available  immediately  and  of  value  to 
their  country.  As  it  turned  out,  many  of  them  were  later  used  and 
proved  themselves  splendid,  capable  officers.  Had  the  oppor- 
tunity been  given  them  sooner,  the  country  would  have  gotten 

[111 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

the  use  of  their  services  for  the  full  time  for  which  it  was  paying, 
while  the  oflScers  themselves  would  have  been  of  greater  eflSciency 
and  of  higher  morale. 

Among  other  changes  under  the  new  Tables  of  Organization 
was  one  abolishing  all  cavalry  except  the  Headquarters  Troop. 
It  was,  therefore,  necessary  to  break  up  and  to  assign  to  other 
branches  of  the  service  three  cavalry  squadrons:  the  first,  a 
newly  organized  squadron  from  the  District  of  Columbia,  formed 
largely  of  ex-college  men  and  horsemen;  the  second,  an  old, 
well  organized,  well  trained  squadron  from  New  Jersey,  including 
the  famous  Essex  Troop;  and  the  third,  the  First  Virginia  Cavalry, 
formerly  the  Richmond  Light  Infantry  Blues  Battalion — one 
of  the  oldest  military  organizations  in  the  United  States — which 
had  been  contintiously  in  Federal  service  since  June,  1916,  and 
which,  for  more  than  six  months  of  that  time,  had  formed  part 
of  a  provisional  regiment,  commanded  by  a  distinguished  regular 
officer.  Under  previous  plans  of  organization  these  three  squadrons 
were  to  have  been  the  divisional  cavalry  for  the  8th  Division. 
With  the  exception  of  the  Virginia  Squadron,  which  shortly  was 
relieved  from  duty  with  the  29th  Division  and  put  in  charge  of 
the  Remount  Station,  near  Anniston,  these  organizations  were 
formed  into  field  artillery.  The  Virginia  Squadron  later  was 
reattached  to  the  division  and  became  the  nucleus  of  the  Horsed 
Section  of  the  104th  Ammunition  Train. 

New  Brigades^  Regiments  and  other  Units  Formed. 

The  staff  of  the  Commanding  General,  as  already  noted,  had 
been  announced  in  General  Orders  No.  1.  It  then  became  necessary 
to  organize  a  Headquarters  Troop,  which  was  formed  from  the 
Headquarters  Troop  of  what  was  intended  to  have  been  the  8th 
Division,  under  the  command  of  Captain  Edwin  C.  Feigenspan 
of  New  Jersey. 

The  110th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  the  Divisional  Machine 
Gun  Battalion,  was  organized  from  the  Machine  Gun  Companies 
of  the  1st  Delaware  Infantry,  4th  New  Jersey  Infantry,  5th 
Maryland  Infantry,  and  the  1st  Virginia  Infantry,  and  was 
commanded,  for  a  brief  period,  by  Major  Stanley  W.  Martin, 
formerly  of  the  1st  Virginia  Infantry.  He  was  later  relieved. 
On  September  2Srd,  Captain  James  H.  Washburn,  formerly  of 
the  District  of  Columbia  Cavalry  Squadron,  succeeded  to  the 
command,  and  retained  it  until  the  division  was  disbanded.

CHAPTER  m. 


THE  BLUE  AND  GRAY  DIVISIONAL  BYBfBOL  ADOPTED — GENERAL  MORTON 

ORDERED  ABROADt— WAR  CORRESPONDENTS. 


It  was  soon  realized  that  a  divisional  spirit  or  esprit  must 
be  encouraged,  since  the  old  organizations  had  been  broken  up. 
Remembering  that  the  organizations  in  the  War  between  the 
States  which  had  special  names  or  distinctive  designations 
acquitted  themselves  unusually  well,  and  that  the  names  and 
designations  of  such  organizations  had  in  the  minds  of  their 
members  a  tremendous  sentimental  value,  suggestions  were  asked 
for  a  name  for  the  29th  Division.  As  a  result,  the  name  of  the 
"Blue  and  Gray  Division'*,  which  probably  was  the  original 
conception  of  the  Chief  of  Staff,  Colonel  Goodale,  was  suggested. 
The  division  was  composed  of  men  both  from  the  North  and  South, 
and  partly  from  organizations  formed  in  the  Capital  of  the  United 
States,  as  well  as  in  the  former  Capital  of  the  Confederacy. 
Moreover,  these  men  were  trained  in  a  southern  camp  named  in 
honor  of  a  Federal  General,  and  were  commanded  by  an  oflScer 
of  the  United  States  Army  from  the  State  of  Maine.  The  designa- 
tion "Blue  and  Gray"  consequently  was  most  appropriate,  was 
adopted  and  met  with  unanimous  approval.  Major  James  A. 
Ulio,  Division  Adjutant,  then  suggested  that  the  Korean  Symbol 
of  Life  composed  half  of  blue  color  and  the  other  half  of  gray,  be 
selected  as  the  Divisional  Insignia.  This  was  done,  and  the 
insignia,  which  was  first  used  to  identify  the  property^  of  the 
division,  was  later,  upon  the  arrival  of  the  division  in  France, 
used  to  identify  the  men  of  the  division.  The  symbol  was  worn 
on  the  left  shoulder  of  each  and  every  man,  to  indicate  the  equality 
of  all  oflBcers  and  men  in  their  affection  for  and  service  in  the 
division.  No  separate  symbols  showing  any  difference  in  rank 
or  grade  were  allowed  to  be  worn,  but  on  the  contrary,  the  same 
symbol  was  worn  by  the  newest  recruit  and  by  the  Commanding 
General.  Incidentally,  the  29th  Division  was  the  first  division 
to  register  its  symbol  oflScially  with  the  Adjutant  General  of  the 
Army. 

The  divisional  symbol  was  put  on  all  wagons,  automobiles,  trucks,  ambulances,  side  cars, 
etc.    G.  O.  38,  par.  1, 14  Dec.  17.

GENERAL  MORTON  ORDERED  ABROAD 

General  Morton  Ordered  Abroad — ^^War  Correspondents/* 

On  Wednesday,  September  19th,  1917,  in  obedience  to  an 
order  of  the  War  Department^  General  Morton,  Lieutenant- 
Colonel^George  S.  Goodale,  General  Staff,  Chief  of  Staff,  and  Cap- 
tain Sumner  Waite,  A.D.C.,  accompanied  by  an  orderly,  left 
Camp  McClellan  for  a  two  months'  tour  of  duty  abroad.  In 
General  Morton's  case,  when  he  went  to  the  railroad  station  in 
Anniston  to  take  his  train,  he  was  handed  orders  delaying  his 
trip  for  a  few  days.  The  results  were  most  humorous.  The 
general  returned  to  find  that  the  local  newspapers  had  made  big 
head-line  stories  of  his  departure,  which  he  had  requested  be 
kept  secret.  It  may  fairly  be  said,  to  the  discredit  of  the  Anniston 
iStor,  that  while  promising  to  say  nothing  about  General  Morton's 
destination,  it  coupled  under  the  same  head  lines  the  statement 
that  Major-General  Charles  G.  Morton  and  Major-General 
C.  G.  Treat  were  called  away  on  military  duties,  announcing 
that  each  had  been  accompanied  by  his  Chief  of  Staff  and  that 
General  Treat  had  made  arrangements  for  an  extended  stay 
abroad.  The  general's  indignation  on  this  occasion  may,  we  think, 
be  pardoned. 

As  this  episode  attracted  more  than  usual  attention  to  the 
press,  it  may  be  of  interest  to  record  here  the  daily  routine  of 
the  newspaper  correspondents,  assigned  by  the  various  **home

papers"  to  cover  the  activities  of  the  division.  The  correspon- 
dents reported  twice  daily  at  Division  Headquarters  for  the  news 
of  the  day.  They  rigidly  stood  at  attention  and  saluted  vigorously 
and  often  whenever  the  general  appeared.  Their  business  with 
the  camp  authorities  was  done  through  the  second  Assistant  Chief 
of  Staff  whose  official  life  was  lived  between  the  upper  and  the 
nether  mill  stone — the  power  of  the  general  on  the  one  hand  and 
of  the  press  on  the  other. 

One  of  the  stories  circulated  by  enterprising  and  imaginative 
newspaper  special  correspondents  from  the  North — whose  igno- 
rance of  the  South  in  many  things  was  as  appalling  as  their  sense 
of  humor  was  dull — had  to  do  with  the  friendly  and  affectionate 
advances  made  by  Southern  rattlesnakes  toward  the  New  Jersey 
soldiers.  Another  story  told  how  men  had  been  scalded  in  their 
shower  baths»  because  the  excessive  heat  caused  the  water  to 
boil  in  pipes  that  were  only  six  inches  underground.  Other  tales 
of  poisonous  spiders  and  of  insects  and  animals  that  were  never 
seen,  caused  many  letters  to  be  written,  which,  had  they  not 
expressed  the  real  anxiety  of  somebody  at  home,  would  have  been 
humorous  in  the  extreme.  Especially  remembered  among  the 
correspondents  is  Raymond  S.  Tompkins,  of  the  Baltimore  Sun, 
who  later  went  with  the  division  abroad  and  remained  with  it 
throughout  its  period  of  service,  and  until  the  Armistice.  Another 
familiar  correspondent  was  big  Harry  Kroh,  who  wrote  for  a 
news  syndicate,  who  was  always  seething  with  indignation  or 
something,  and  expressing  his  opinion  of  the  general's  ways  of 
doing  business  to  everybody — except  the  general.  The  cheerful 
manner  in  which  these  scribes^  took  the  good  with  the  bad,  their 
sprightliness  of  wit,  their  real  down-right  patriotism,  and  their 
entire  willingness  to  play  the  game  whenever  the  rules  were  fully 
explained  to  them,  should  be  recorded.  No  group  of  men  ever 
had  the  good  name  and*  interest  of  the  division  more  at  heart  than 
did  they,  nor  had  any  man  more  general  affection  for  the  division 
and  interest  in  its  work  than  our  "War  Correspondents". 

'  The  oUier  representatives  pennanenUy  assigned  to  the  29lh  Division  were  Andrew  D. 
Breshears,  Uoyd  M.  Felmly  and  James  G.  McNamee.

AND  MOVING  CAMP. 


The  departure  of  General  Morton,  as  already  indicated,  was 
most  unfortunate  at  this  time.  Just  why  the  War  Department 
should  have  thought  that  a  few  weeks'  visit  to  the  Front  during 
the  middle  of  winter  by  a  division  commander  was  of  more  value 
than  his  services  in  orgam'zing  and  training  a  division  at  this 
crucial  time  is  a  mystery.  General  Morton's  departure  left 
Brigadier-General  W.  C.  Rafferty,  commander  of  the  54th  Field 
Artillery  Brigade,  temporarily  in  command  of  the  division. 

The  presentation  by  several  New  Jersey  cities  of  an  electric 
base  ball  score  board  brought  joy  to  the  hearts  of  many  men, 
though  the  interruption  in  the  training  schedule  was  not  welcomed 
by  some  of  the  officers  who  were  interested  more  than  all  else  in 
getting  the  division  in  shape  for  an  early  departure.  Captain 
S.  C.  Reynolds,  16th  Cavalry,  the  general's  aide,  and  Captain 
C.  M.  Husted,  104th  Engineers,  directed  the  installation  of  the 
board,  while  skilled  telegraphers  from  the  Signal  Battalion  and 
some  leather-lung  megaphone  men  enabled  the  thousands  of 
fans  who  covered  the  hillside,  a  veritable  living  field  of  khaki, 
to  "get"  every  play  as  it  was  made.  Nor  should  reference  be 
omitted  of  the  Horse  Show,  held  November  2nd  and  3rd  at  Annis- 
ton.  In  order  to  attend  this,  all  officers  and  men  who  cared  to 
buy  their  tickets  in  advance  were  excused  from  duty.  Inasmuch 
as  the  price  of  admission  was  the  nominal  sum  of  twenty-five 
cents,  this  proved  a  very  attractive  proposition  to  both  the  officers 
and  men  who  preferred  diversion  to  work. 

The  Show  was  a  great  success  and  brought  out  some  beautiful 
horses.  It  also  proved  that  the  division  possessed  some  excellent 
horsemen,  while  the  tidy  sum  received  by  the  Red  Cross  as  a 
result  of  the  venture,  was  most  welcome  to  them. 

Colonel  Washington  Bowie,  Jr.,  110th  Field  Artillery,  was  Chair- 
man of  the  Horse  Show,  and  Captain  Daniel  Runkle  was  secretary 
of  the  Committee.     Brigadier-Generals  Rafferty,  Vaughan  and

and  1st  Lieutenant  L.  B.  Ballantyne  were  the  judges. 

Negro  Troops  Arrive. 

Among  the  many  problems  which  demanded  the  attention  of 
the  division  conmiander,  as  well  as  of  the  people  of  Anniston,  was 
the  arrival  on  the  night  of  October  Slst,  of  the  1st  Separate 
Negro  Company  of  Maryland,  composed  of  190  officers  and  men 
under  the  command  of  Captain  Spencer.  These  troops  came  from 
Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania,  where  they  had  been  on  guard  duty. 
Before  their  arrival.  General  Morton  had  arranged  for  their  recep- 
tion by  the  colored  people  of  Anniston,  and  had  especially  enlisted 
the  interest  of  the  ministers  and  others  of  the  negro  population 
to  insure  them  the  diversion  necessary  for  all  soldiers.  As  a 
result  of  this  foresight  on  the  part  of  the  division  commander,  the 
negroes  were  well  received  by  the  representatives  of  their  race, 
and  their  behavior  while  at  Camp  McClellan  was  the  subject  of 
favorable  conmient. 

Upon  arrival,  the  company  was  first  attached  to  the  Horsed 
Section  of  the  Ammunition  TVain  under  the  command  of  Major 
H.  R.  Riley.  As  the  Virginia  Cavalry,  formerly  the  old  Richmond 
Blues,  had  been  transferred  to  the  division  and  had  formed  the 
nucleus  of  the  Horsed  Section  of  the  Ammunition  Train,  some 
wag  suggested  the  appropriateness  of  having  together  the  Rich- 
mond "Blues"  and  the  Baltimore  "Blacks."  The  attachment 
which  grew  up  between  these  Southern  negroes  and  the  Southern 
white  men  of  the  other  organization  was  immediate  and  genuine. 
Orders  were  later  received  transferring  the  Maryland^  company 
to  the  Auxiliary  Remount  Depot,  near  Anniston,  and  it  ceased 
to  be  a  part  of  the  division.  From  that  time  until  the  departure 
of  the  division  there  were  no  other  negro  troops  at  Camp 
McClellan.

No  story  of  the  life  at  Camp  McClellan  would  be  complete 
without  a  reference  to  the  fire  calls  and  temporary  moves  of  the

various  units  from  one  part  of  the  camp  to  another,  and  their 
moves  back  again,  according  as  the  War  Department  changed 
from  one  plan  only  to  revert  to  its  former  plan.  The  historian 
of  "Captain  Boyd's  Battery"  tells  it  as  the  artillery-men  saw  it: 

**  They  are  telling  a  story  about  Otten.  Our  Brigadier^  has  a  passion 
for  fire  calls.  The  other  night  we  had  two  of  them  just  for  practice. 
Conscientious  corporals  labored  and  bellowed  mightily  to  roll  out 
their  squads  and  get  them  into  a  shivering  line  on  the  cold  street,  in 
some  sort  of  clothing.  At  the  first  alarm  Otten  got  out  his  tent  like 
the  rest.  But  at  the  second,  blown  almost  as  soon  as  we  had  gotten 
back  to  sleep,  he  simply  reached  under  his  cot  for  a  shoe. 

**  I'll  brain  the  first  dam'  rookie  that  hears  it ',  he  said,  and  got  away 
with  it. 

"Thesametent,  but,  as  Dukehaw  says,  'Two  miles  nearer  Hoboken'. 
Our  Brigadier,  commanding  the  Division  during  General  Morton's 
inspection  trip  to  France  put  an  incoming  regiment  of  Regulars  on 
our  old  site  and  ordered  us  out  here  into  the  forest  primeval,  on  the 
northern  border  of  the  camp.  Now  our  stables  are  nothing  but 
picket  lines  strung  through  underbrush;  our  battery  street  only  a 
forest  aisle  plunging  down  a  hillside  to  showers  without  water  in 
them.    We  have  to  walk  two  miles  and  beg  a  bath  of  the  Regulars. 

"  But  any  change  is  welcome.  So  far  no  divisional  inspectors  have 
penetrated  our  mountain  fastness.  We  run  our  own  schedule  and 
get  somewhere  with  daily  mounted  drill  and  gun  drill  twice  daily. 
Next  week  we  are  to  fire  on  the  range  with  service  ammunition. 

**  At  first  we  resented  the  change,  laying  it  to  a  Regular's  preference 
of  Regulars.  Initial  orders  required  us  to  tear  down  our  old  stables 
and  put  them  here  in  the  woods.  *We  ain't  a  battery;  we're  a 
building  association,'  said  Bacchus,  upon  whom,  as  an  ex-engineer 
the  details  devolved."

CHAPTER  V. 


FRENCH    AND    BRITISH    OFFICERS — PREVIEWS    FOR    THE    GOVERNORS    OF 
MARYLAND,    NEW    JERSEY    AND    VIRGINIA — ^UBERTY    LOAN 

CAMPAIGN. 


A  new  interest  was  created  in  the  training  schedule  by  the 
arrival  in  camp  of  French  and  British  instructors,  who,  having 
seen  overseas  service,  were  now  sent  to  divisions  throughout  the 
United  States  to  assist  in  the  training. 

The  first  foreign  oflScer  to  arrive  was  Lieutenant  Raymond 
d'Aiguy,  of  the  Chasseurs  Alpine.  Lieutenant  d'Aiguy  reported 
for  duty  on  October  17th,  1917,  and  in  his  dark  blue  uniform  and 
the  rakish  cap  of  the  famous  "Blue  Devils  of  France",  was  the 
center  of  the  liveliest  interest.  He  was  followed  by  2nd  Lieuten- 
ant Louis  Pierson,  of  the  8th  French  Engineer  Regiment  who 
was  assigned  to  duty  as  an  instructor  with  the  Signal  Battalion. 
Two  French  non-commissioned  oflScers,  Adjutant  Jean  de 
Renusson,  and  Sergeant  Alzir  Simonnot  arrived  later.  Major 
Rene  de  Cernowitz,  Senior  Officer  of  the  French  Mission,  arrived 
on  November  16th,  accompanied  by  2nd  Lieutenant  George  F. 
Boulet,  and  Sergeant  Rene  Lancelin  of  the  Engineers. 

The  British  Mission  was  headed  by  Major  F.  J.  Thompson, 
of  the  Surrey  Regiment,  and  included  Captain  Harry  A.  W.  Back- 
hoff.  Captain  John  Lean,  Captain  T.  L.  Ground  and  Captain 
G.  Murfitt,  together  with  their  non-commissioned  officers  and 
orderlies. 

Both  missions  immediately  were  assigned  to  duty  in  the  divi- 
sional schools,  teaching  the  specialties^  which  they  had  learned 

^  Probablv  the  most  picturesque  instructor  was  the  British  Gas  Officer,  who  is  thus 
delightfully  described  by  the  historian  of  Captain  Boyd's  Battery,  A.  E.  F.: 

''An  English  Captain  and  a  few  non-comms.  have  blown  in  here  to  teach  us  Gas 
Defense,  and  taken  the  place  by  storm.  The  Captain  gave  "F"  a  special  talk  from 
our  mess-hall  steps.  His  rcmancs  were  interesting  but  not  a  success  psychologically. 
*I  have  come  over  'ere  to  give  you  'ell'  was  the  way  he  started.  He  and  his  non- 
comms.  are  fine  soldiers,  but  somehow  or  other  we'd  rather  take  our  'ell  from  our  own 
officers. 

"I  have  been  to  his  Gas  School,  as  a  mode  of  escape  from  the  clerkship,  and  am 
now  batteiy  gas  non-comm.,  fast  escaping.  He  runs  a  good  school,  with  iron  discipline 
and  En^ish  systems  of  'Prydes',  *Mawcn-pawsts',  and  commands  like  the  crack  of  a 
whip.  His  lectures  are  carefully  planned  and  well  delivered.  No  doubt,  better 
soldiers  leave  his  school  at  the  end  of  the  week  than  come  to  it  on  Monday.  The 
gist  of  the  course  is  that  gas  is  doing  to  lead  what  lead  did  to  cold  steel  in  warfare,  and 
that  the  only  way  to  bei^  the  game  is  drill  and  discipline.  We  are  to  have  daily  gas 
drill  in  the  battery  as  soon  as  we  get  more  masks." 


REVIEWS  FOR  THE  GOVERNORS 

in  the  school  of  practical  warfare.  By  their  patience  and  interest 
as  instructors,  and  by  their  pleasing  personalities,  these  officers 
soon  became  fast  friends  of  the  American  officers  with  whom  they 
worked.  It  was  not  without  much  regret  on  all  sides  that  they 
subsequently  were  transferred  to  other  commands.  The  only 
exception  was  Major  de  Cemowitz,  who  accompanied  the  division 
overseas  and  remained  with  it  until  it  had  arrived  at  and  had  seen 
considerable  service  on  the  Alsatian  Front. 

Reviews  for  the  Governors  of  Maryland^  New  Jersey  and  Virginia. 

Among  many  interesting  events  which  occurred  at  Camp 
McClellan  during  the  early  days  of  the  division*s  life  were  the 
divisional  reviews  held  in  honor  of  the  governors  of  the  various 
states  composing  the  division  who  visited  the  camp  during  the 
late  fall  and  early  winter.  On  Thursday,  November  15th,  the 
Blue  and  Gray  Division  passed  in  review  before  Governor 
Emerson  C.  Harrington,  of  Maryland,  Adjutant-General  Henry 
M.  Warfield,  of  the  same  State,  and  Brigadier-General  W.  C. 
Rafferty,  temporarily  in  command  of  the  29th  Division,  and  his 
staff.  In  this  review,  the  57th  Infantry  Brigade  was  commanded 
by  Brigadier-General  Charles  W.  Barber,  of  New  Jersey,  and  the 
58th,  by  Brigadier-General  Charles  D.  Gaither,  of  Maryland. 
The  54th  Field  Artillery  Brigade  was  commanded  by  Colonel 
Quincy  A.  Gillmore,  112th  Heavy  Field  Artillery.  The  French 
and  British  Officers  on  duty  wilii  the  division  were  interested 
spectators.  On  November  19th,  another  divisional  review  was 
held — this  time  in  honor  of  Governor  Walker  Evans  Edge,  of 
New  Jersey.  On  the  Saturday  evening  previous  to  the  review 
General  Barber  entertained  Governors  Edge  and  Harrington  at  a 
formal  dinner  at  the  Alabama  Hotel  in  Anniston.  General 
Gaither  in  responding  to  a  toast,  answered  the  taunt  that  had 
been  thrown  at  him  by  General  Barber  to  the  effect  that  the  Jersey 
troops  had  taken  50  per  cent  of  the  Liberty  Bonds  sold  in  camp. 
General  Gaither  said  that  he  did  not  wonder  at  the  ability  of  the 
Jersey  men  to  do  this  when  he  recalled  some  of  the  prices  he  had 
been  compelled  to  pay  at  Atlantic  City  and  other  Jersey  resorts. 

On  December  5th,  1917,  the  third  divisional  review  for  a 
visiting  governor  was  held, — this  time  in  honor  of  Governor 
Henry  Carter  Stuart,  of  Virginia.    The  division  was  commanded 

[23] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

during  this  review  by  Brigadier-General  Charles  D.  Gaither,  of 
the  58th  Brigade.  The  57th  Brigade  was  commanded  by  Colonel 
John  D.  Fraser,  of  the  113th  Infantry,  and  the  58th  Brigade  by 
Colonel  Charles  A.  Little,  of  the  115th  Infantry.  The  54th  Field 
Artillery  Brigade  was  commanded  by  Colonel  Quincy  A.  Gillmore, 
112th  Heavy  Field  Artillery.  After  the  review  the  official  party 
was  entertained  at  luncheon  by  General  Raflferty. 

This  completed  the  official  visits  of  the  governors  of  the  states 
composing  the  29th  Division.  Governor  Westmoreland  Davis, 
of  Virginia,  who  succeeded  Governor  Stuart  on  February  1,  1918, 
visited  the  camp  during  the  winter.  Although  General  Morton, 
then  again  in  command  of  the  division,  very  kindly  offered  and 
insisted  upon  holding  a  review  in  his  honor.  Governor  Davis 
declined  the  honor  in  order  not  to  interfere  with  the  training  of 
the  division  to  that  extent.  This  attitude  was  not  unappreciated 
by  the  officers  and  men  of  the  division,  especially  as  the  division 
had  already  passed  in  review  before  a  Virginia  governor. 

Liberty  Loan  Campaign. 

Serious  interruption  in  the  training  of  the  division  was  caused 
by  the  War  Department's  orders^  in  connection  with  the  cam- 
paign for  selling  Liberty  Bonds  to  the  soldiers.  Much  valuable 
time  had  to  be  given  over  to  efforts  for  the  sale  of  the  bonds,  in 
addition  to  two  Field  Days  which  were  directed  to  be  held.  The 
men  subscribed  generously  and  patriotically.  It  cannot  be  denied, 
however,  that  the  general  sentiment  was  that  there  should  not 
have  been  such  a  break  in  military  duty  unless  absolutely  neces- 
sary. Further  it  was  felt  that  too  much  was  asked  of  men  who 
were  getting  the  small  sum  of  thirty  dollars  a  month,  part  of 
which,  if  they  were  married,  must  needs  go  as  an  allotment  to 
their  families.     As  one  company  historian  has  written, 

"having  given  us  a  chance  to  give  our  lives  to  our  country  we  were 
now  being  generously  permitted  to  give  our  pay  too." 

None  the  less,  the  manner  in  which  the  men  of  the  division 
responded  to  this  call  was  a  source  of  pride  to  everyone.  The 
total  amount  subscribed  was  $1,095,350,  which  was  paid  by  deduc- 
tions from  the  soldiers'  pay.  The  strength  of  the  division  at  this 
time  was  25,092.    Of  that  number  12,881  officers  and  men  sub-

scribed.  The  104th  Field  Signal  Battalion,  then  consisting 
of  256  men,  made  an  average  subscription  of  $134.76  per  man, 
with  every  individual  in  the  battalion  subscribing  for  more  than 
one  bond.  After  such  a  showing,  it  can  be  understood  readily 
that  the  "sad  plight"  of  the  civilian  who  subscribed  to  Liberty 
Bonds  "  until  it  hurt "  does  not  evoke  the  f idl  measure  of  sympathy 
from  the  private  soldier  at  thirty  dollars  per  month,  who  sub- 
scribed more  than  one  hundred  dollars  of  his  meager  pay  for  the 
purchase  of  bonds  to  finance  the  war  in  which  he  was  at  the  same 
time  offering  his  life. 

The  diary  of  the  historian  of  Battery  F,  110th  Field  Artillery, 
sums  up  briefly  and  interestingly  in  the  following  paragraph  the 
artilleryman's  impression  of  the  intensive  training  and  of  the 
Liberty  Loan  Campaign^ 

"This  'intensive'  training  to  rush  to  the  aid  of  bleeding  France  looks 
well  in  the  papers,  but  all  our  rushing  seems  to  lie  in  marking  time. 
Imagine!  Tomorrow  is  Liberty  Loan  Day,  designated  an  all-day 
holiday,  with  games  and  mule  races  to  stimulate  subscriptions  from 
our  pay.  The  whole  business  wiU  hardly  bring  a  single  extra  sub- 
scmption;  aU  without  allotments  to  dependents  have  long  since  taken 
bonds,  but  we  must  go  to  the  mule  races  by  order  of  the  Department 
of  the  South-east!  Wednesdays  and  Saturdays  are  half -holidays 
every  week,  and  Sundays  are  free  from  everything  except  detail. 
All  during  the  world's  series,  we  were  given  a  half-day  off  and 
marched  off  to  watch  the  games,  play  by  play,  on  an  electric  score- 
board. And  when,  on  the  five  drill  days,  we  do  work,  they  are  very 
severe  about  making  it  the  fuU  eight-hour  day.  You  bet!  But  eight 
hours  of  what?  Well,  gun  drill  on  the  kind  of  guns  we  won't  use  in 
France,  and  detail  reconnaissance  on  the  American  system,  which 
also  is  not  used  in  France,  and  time-killing  lectures  on  the  Articles 
of  War  and  Military  Courtesy  and  Hygiene,  and — oh  yes! — ^foot 
drill;  we  mustn't  forget  the  foot  drill.  Bo  Rowland  has  got  his 
Second  Section  to  a  point  where  he  sits  on  the  mess-hall  steps  and 
drills  them  up  and  down  the  street.  It  is  said  that  he  details  one  of 
them  as  a  picket,  to  look  out  for  inspectors.  But  as  long  as  there  is  a 
speck  of  dust  between  the  boards  of  the  kitchen  floor,  Uie  inspectors 
will  never  see  him  or  anything  else.  It's  a  great  life,  this  rushing  to 
the  rescue  of  France!"

CHAPTER  VI- 

DRAliTED  MEN  ARRIVE — ^DIVERSIONS  AND  POST  EXCHANGES. 


On  November  5th  the  first  consignment  of  drafted  men  arrived 
for  the  purpose  of  replacing  the  large  number  of  men  who  from 
time  to  time  and  for  every  conceivable  purpose  had  been  taken 
from  the  division  and  ordered  elsewhere.  These  drafted  men  were 
from  New  Jersey,  Maryland,  Delaware,  Virginia  and  the  District 
of  Columbia,  and  numbered  about  1000  in  all.  Moving  as  they 
did  from  the  cantonment  at  Camp  Dix  into  a  tented  camp, 
they  came  under  canvas  for  the  first  time.  It  was  not  with- 
out a  certain  feeling  of  evident  superiority  that  the  "veterans" 
of  Camp  McClellan  welcomed  these  new  recruits  into  their 
organizations.  It  did  not  take  long,  however,  for  the  new  men 
to  settle  into  their  places  and  to  absorb  that  divisional  spirit 
which  made  it  comparatively  easy  to  assimilate  new  material. 
This  first  contingent  was  the  forerunner  of  5000  or  more  additional 
drafted  men  who  were  received  during  the  latter  part  of  May. 
These  later  arrivals  were  from  New  York,  the  New  England  States 
and  the  Middle  West,  and  were  not  as  easily  and  readily  assimi- 
lated as  had  been  the  men  of  the  first  draft.  This,  of  course, 
largely  was  because  they  were  more  than  five  times  as  numerous 
as  the  men  in  the  original  draft. 

The  largest  contingents  of  drafted  men  arrived  only  three 
weeks  before  the  division  sailed  and  just  three  months  before  it 
took  its  place  in  line  at  the  front.  This  means  that  practically 
twenty-five  per  cent  of  the  effectives  of  the  divisional  strength  was 
composed  of  newly-drafted  men!  That  the  division  was  so  dis- 
ciplined and  so  well  trained  as  to  be  able  to  absorb,  if  not  to 
assimilate  this  large  percentage  of  new  material  and  to  have  the 
newcomers  equipped  and  sufficiently  trained  to  take  their  places 
with  the  old  men  of  the  division,  a  scant  three  months  later,  in  the 
line  facing  the  enemy,  speaks  volumes  for  the  work  done  by  com- 
pany and  other  unit  commanders,  and  by  the  supply  department. 
If  the  dispatch  of  these  men  to  the  division  displayed  character- 
istic American  extemporization,  their  transformation  shows  also 
the  adaptability  of  the  every  day  average  American. 

[26] 


DIVERSIONS  AND  POST  EXCHANGES 

Diversions  and  Post  Exchanges. 

The  diversions  of  the  men  at  this  time  were  few  and  simple. 
The  city  of  Anniston,  with  a  population  of  15,000,  struggled 
nobly  to  entertain  and  amuse  more  than  double  the  number  of 
strangers  at  its  gates.  The  city  and  the  camp  each  appreciated 
fully  the  problems  of  the  other,  but  it  soon  became  evident  that 
the  matter  of  transportation  alone  made  it  impossible  for  the 
soldiers  to  find  in  the  city  that  wholesome  amusement  necessary 
to  their  proper  development  and  happiness.  The  erection  of 
Post  Exchanges  or  Canteens  was  therefore  encouraged  by  the 
authorities,  not  alone  because  of  the  profits  which  were  distri- 
buted among  the  various  companies  and  which  enabled  them  to 
supplement  the  army  ration,  but  also  because  of  the  properly- 
supervised  entertainment  which  thus  was  provided  for  the  men. 
Soon  moving  pictures,  vaudeville  shows,  boxing  matches  and  other 
forms  of  entertainment  were  held  in  the  various  regimental 
exchanges.  Of  the  many  places  of  amusement  at  Camp  McClellan, 
none  was  more  interesting  probably  than  the  112th  Artillery 
Exchange  building  which  was  erected  by  the  men  of  the  regiment 
themselves  who  hailed  from  New  Jersey.  This  was  the  first 
regimental  canteen  opened  in  the  division  and  was  the  scene  of 
many  interesting  and  notable  meetings. 

Later  other  organizations  constructed  their  exchange  buildings 
but  few  of  them,  with  the  exception  of  the  Engineers,  were  able 
to  do  this  without  the  assistance  of  some  of  the  construction  force. 
The  115th  Exchange  Building,  however,  eclipsed  all  others  in  the 
completeness  of  its  exchanges  and  in  the  service  it  was  able  to 
render  that  imit.  Captain  Frank  L.  Hewitt  was  the  Exchange 
OflScer  of  the  regiment.  One  could  purchase  anything  there  from 
a  vanity  box  and  a  lip  stick  to  a  postage  stamp  and  a  book  on 
etiquette. 

Another  conspicuous  use  of  the  post  exchanges  was  for 
religious  services.  Many  a  man,  thanks  to  the  army,  has  realized 
that  a  minister  can  be  every  inch  a  man.  For  the  most  part,  the 
clergymen  attached  to  the  29th  division  were  greatly  beloved  by 
the  men  whom  they  served.  A  tribute  to  the  chaplain  of  the  110th 
Field  Artillery  is  undoubtedly  contained  in  the  following  breezy 
account  from  Battery  F's  historian : 

[27] 


HISTORY  OF  TEE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

''The  chaplain  is  a  wonder.  While  he  may  never  make  us  religious 
in  the  church  sense  of  the  word»  he  is  certainly  an  influence  for 
friendliness  and  cheer.  The  camp  canteen  is  a  sony  place  to  hold 
services — ^rafters  and  raw  board  seats  and  signs  about  no  smoking 
or  spitting  on  the  floo]>-^but  he  has  'salvaged*  some  saw  mill  slabs 
and  constructed  a  rustic  altar  that  is  a  thins  of  beauty;  his  services 
are  really  impressive.  It's  good  to  see  him  hurrying  around  during 
the  week,  returning  salutes  with  two  fingers  and  bursting  into  a  tent 
with  a  'Well,  well!  how  are  aU  my  boys  today?'  Only  one  man  in  a 
million  can  get  away  with  that  stuff  with  a  soldier;  he  can,  because 
it's  real  with  him.  But  he  rather  takes  visiting  parents  off  their  feet 
when  he  rushes  at  them  in  the  same  manner,  and  eagerly  demands 
'  are  you  the  parents  of  one  of  my  boys? '  It  takes  them  a  few  seconds 
to  see  what  he  means."

GENERAL     MORTON     RETURNS — ^AN     ARTILLERYMAN  8     COMMENTS — 

CHRISTMAS — ^ITS  JOYS  AND  SORROWS. 


Upon  the  return  of  General  Morton  from  France  about  the 
middle  of  December  from  his  tour  of  duty  abroad,  the  division 
took  on  new  life.  It  soon  was  realized  that  the  ^^Old  Man*'  was 
again  at  the  helm.  The  influence  of  his  dominating  personality 
was  felt  throughout  the  division.  Confidential  instructions  from 
the  War  Department  had  indicated  that  the  division  would  doubt- 
less sail  early  in  January,  but  the  disastrous  interruptions  and  the 
unfavorable  weather  had  so  kept  back  the  training  and  develop- 
ment of  the  organization  that  the  division  evidently  was  not  con- 
sidered fit  for  foreign  service  at  that  time.  Although  only  a  few 
of  the  higher  staff  officers  had  knowledge  of  the  fact  that  the  divi- 
sion was  scheduled  to  be  sent  over  in  January,  the  disappointment 
of  those  who  did  know  was  most  keen.  With  the  reappearance 
of  General  Morton  hope  of  an  early  sailing  date  was  revived,  not 
alone  because  the  division  was  in  excellent  condition  as  to  training 
and  discipline,  but  also  because  it  had  been  thought  that  General 
Morton's  seniority  as  a  major-general  in  the  regular  army  would 
gain  his  division  preference. 

An  ArtiUeryman^s  CommenU  on  Oeneral  Morton's  Return. 

The  effect  of  General  Morton's  return  is  thus  truly  and  delight- 
fully told  by  the  historian  of  "Captain  Boyd's  Battery,  A.E.F.": 

"  Button !  Button !  Who's  got  the  button  unbuttoned?  The  General 
is  back  from  France  looking  for  him.  The  papers  say  that  he  was 
^  no  ted  as  a  disciplinarian'  even  before  he  went  over,  and  that  now 
he  plans  to  instill  into  this  division  such  discipline  as  even  he  never 
dreamed  of.  *I  saw  British  troops  stand  at  attention  for  an  hour. ' 
Thus  they  quote  him.    ftetty! 

''The  day  he  returned  every  officer  in  the  division  got  an  orderly. 
Mounted  officers  got  two.  After  which,  according  to  tent-talk  he 
took  a  walk  and  relieved  a  Colonel,  a  Major,  three  Captains  and 
two  Lieutenants  because  he  didn't  like  the  looks  of  their  commands. 
One  of  the  Captains  got  his  for  chewing  gum  and  the  other  for 
showing  nervousness.  Still  more  sensational  is  the  supposed  fate 
of  the  Brigadier  who  commanded  in  the  General's  absence.    He 

[«9] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY  NINTH  DIVISION 

was  discovered  in  an  easy  chair  before  Headquarters,  with  three 
bands  playing  for  him,  and  promptly  put  in  the  brig! 

*' All  this  talk,  relayed  at  tremendous  speed  along  the  picket  lines, 
can  hardly  be  accepted  as  it  stands,  but  it  is  quite  sincere  and 
represents  how  beautifully  stirred  up  is  this  division  since  its 
General's  return.  These  thousands  of  acres  of  men  have  tightened 
up  almost  overnight.  No  matter  how  strict  he  wants  to  be,  it's  all 
right  with  us.  Already  he's  galvanized  us  into  a  strict  observance 
of  good  order.    Long  may  he  rave! 

**  Back  on  the  same  old  site  in  the  same  old  valley,  only  colder.  One 
of  the  General's  first  acts  upon  his  return  was  to  rescue  his  babes  in 
the  woods  and  put  the  Regulars  there.    The  Lord  be  with  them! 

"We  have  fired  on  the  range  twice,  and  are  getting  ahead  of  our 
work.    The  General's  got  us  soldiering;  we  like  it  better  that  way. 

"Things  have  happened  which  have  tried  discipline,  and  found  it 
good.  When  the  first  Christmas  furlough  order  came  down,  it  pro- 
vided for  twenty  per  cent  of  the  command.  Lots  were  drawn,  and  the 
happy  winners  borrowed  all  the  money  in  the  outfit  and  made  great 
plans.  Then  came  a  little  slip  headed '  Bulletin  203  Correction',  reduc- 
ing leaves  to  the regulationfive percent.  Three  fourths  of  the  ^winners' 
had  to  be  disappointed.  Those  of  us  who  finally  landed  one  felt 
almost  guilty,  especially  when  the  battery  lined  the  street  and  gave 
us  a  gay  send-off.  There  is  no  better  sport  than  a  good  soldier  and 
this  battery  is  full  of  them. 

"The  furloughs  gave  a  little  over  three  days  at  home.  Oh  Boy! 
Butter  and  girls  and  bathtubs  and  sheets  and  people  who  exclaim 
how  wonderful  you  are!  We're  perfectly  comfortable  down  here, 
but  contrasts  are  everything.  This  time  next  year,  we'll  be  raving 
the  same  way  if  we  get  within  range  of  any  sort  of  a  fire  and  have 
the  chance  to  crawl  inside  of  a  clean,  if  ticldy,  shirt. 

"Back  with  the  battery,  we  find  them  also  quarantined  in  the  bat- 
talion area  for  an  indefinite  period.  Just  when  it  looks  as  if  we  were 
going  to  get  out,  another  case  develops.  Then  all  in  the  same  tent 
pack  bag  and  baggage  over  to  the  Detention  Camp,  and  they  soak  the 
quarantine  on  for  another  week.  The  street  growls  a  little,'  but  soon 
goes  its  way,  passing  the  salute  to  the  stuck-up  Non-Comm.  as  gayly 
as  ever.    We  are  surely  learning  to  take  what  comes. 

"Our  old  Colonel  has  gone  away  to  artillery  school.  In  the  four 
months  he's  been  with  us,  the  Re^ment  has  got  to  the  point  of, 
'He's  all  right.'  That's  going  some  for  a  doughboy  Colonel  in  an 
artillery  outfit. 

"The  Greneral  is  on  a  tour  of  inspection,  and  reports  come  in  that  he 
has  hit  100  per  cent  to  date,  relieving  officers  in  every  regiment  thus

far  inspected.  Our  own  officers  seem  fond  of  their  jobs;  they  have 
flown  into  a  very  frenzy  of  preparation  for  his  visit.  If  some  unlucky 
devil  strays  out  of  his  tent  with  his  chin  strap  a  shade  above  or 
below  the  point  of  the  chin,  or  fails  to  get  that  old  salute  right  in 
the  groove,  it's  the  skids  for  him.  The  only  safe  way  is  never  to  go 
out,  except  under  cover  of  night,  and  that's  impossible.  So  we  shine 
up  and  take  our  chances.  We're  a  snappy  outfit,  getting  more  so 
daily. 

'^The  grounds  arealsogettingtheirgrooming.  The  entire  regimental 
reservation  has  been  swept  with  house  brooms,  down  to  and  includ- 
ing the  marsh  behind  the  picket  line.  If  the  General  doesn't  come 
tomorrow  and  get  it  over  with,  they'll  have  us  picking  dust  off  the 
mess-shack  roof  by  hand." 

Christmas — Its  Joys  and  Sorrows, 

The  approach  of  the  Christmas  holidays  brought  with  it  the 
usual  train  of  homesickness  on  the  part  of  the  men  in  camp, 
particularly  of  the  youngsters  away  from  home  at  this  season 
probably  for  the  first  time.  The  division  commander  had  estab- 
lished a  system  of  meritorious  conduct  classification  whereby 
men  who  had  been  attentive  and  faithful  in  the  performance  of 
their  military  duties  were  put  in  Class  A,  and  were  given  cards 
indicating  that  fact,  which  classification  entitled  them  to  first 
consideration  in  the  matter  of  leaves  and  furloughs  and  other 
privileges  which  regulations  permitted  to  be  accorded  soldiers. 

The  War  Department  first  gave  out  information  that  twenty 
per  cent  of  the  men  would  be  given  furloughs  for  Christmas.  It 
was  well  known  that  opportunity  of  visiting  their  homes  nearly 
every  week-end  was  afiForded  men  in  such  camps  as  Lee,  Meade 
and  Dix,  and  other  camps  near  large  cities  and  thickly  settled 
communities;  and  it  seemed  only  fair  that  the  men  from  New 
Jersey,  Maryland,  Virginia  and  the  District  of  Columbia, 
stationed  in  far-away  Camp  McClellan,  now  should  be  given 
like  opportunity  for  once.  But  probably  because  of  the  great 
strain  on  the  transportation  system,  which  already  was  over- 
crowded by  the  demands  of  war  and  the  holiday  period,  the 
twenty  per  cent  of  furloughs  later  was  cut  down  to  five  per  cent. 
Information  on  the  subject  was  issued  to  the  troops  in  the  form 
of  bulletins  as  it  came  from  the  War  Department.  When  the 
final  ruling  of  the  War  Department  reduced  the  proportion  to 
five  per  cent,  granting  furloughs  only  to  those  who  could  show 

[31] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

exceptional  circumstances,  the  division  commander  was  forced 
to  confine  the  privilege  to  those  men  who  held  Class  A  cards. 
The  result  of  this  action  on  the  part  of  the  War  Department  was 
that  something  like  1500  men  of  the  division  took  "French  leave" 
and  went  A.W.O.L.  Whereupon,  sometime  after  the  holiday 
period,  General  Morton  wrote  a  letter  to  the  relatives  and  families 
of  the  enlisted  men  of  the  division  asking  their  co-operation  in  a 
matter  of  much  interest  to  the  division.  This  letter  set  out  that 
a  certain  named  soldier  had  been  absent  without  leave  and  that 
it  was  necessary  to  administer  punishment  for  the  offense,  as  it 
has  been  found  impossible  to  grant  holiday  furloughs  to  more  than 
a  small  percentage,  among  whom  "your  son  was  not  included. 
He  nevertheless  deliberately  left  his  command.  It  has  been 
ascertained  in  many  cases  that  the  men  had  received  money  from 
home  obtained  by  representing  that  they  would  be  granted  fur- 
loughs and  only  needed  the  necessary  funds  to  be  able  to  go  home. 
Of  course,  it  is  not  to  be  inferred  that  this  was  the  case  with  your 
son.  The  matter  is  brought  to  your  attention  only  to  inform  you 
that  in  many  cases  parents  and  others,  by  sending  money  to  the 
men  here,  had  contributed  innocently  of  course  to  getting  them 
into  trouble  and  thereby  injuring  the  service  of  the  Country  and 
the  future  military  career  of  the  man  concerned."  The  resulting 
response  on  the  part  of  the  families  of  the  men  concerned  was 
most  gratifying. 

The  men  themselves,  however,  soon  found  that  their  holidays 
at  home  carried  with  them  a  very  definite  and  certain  military 
punishment.  Each  oflScer  and  soldier  returning  to  the  division 
from  leave,  whether  the  leave  was  properly  authorized  or  not, 
was  compelled  to  spend  a  period  in  the  Detention  Camp^  where 
he  was  kept  under  observation  by  the  medical  personnel  in  charge 
until  it  had  been  definitely  determined  that  he  had  not  contracted 
any  contagious  disease  nor  was  the  carrier  of  any  contagious 

>  On  December  23rd,  1917  (G.  O.  44,  par.  17),  a  detention  camp  for  recruits  and  for  men 
returning  from  leave  who  might  be  carriers  of  meningitis  and  diseases  which  were  then 
taking  a  heavy  toll  of  soldiers  in  other  camps,  was  established  at  Camp  McClellan, 
and  it  is  believed  that  the  freedom  of  the  men  of  the  29th  from  the  diseases  which  so 
sorely  afflicted  other  camps  was  due  to  the  prompt  formation  and  the  successful  con- 
duct of  this  detention  camp.  Major  John  W.  Desmond  was  the  first  commander  of 
the  camp,  and  Major  Herbert  C.  Blake  was  medical  officer  in  charge.  The  detention 
camp  was  later  turned  over  to  the  complete  charge  of  the  Medical  Department,  and 
administered  under  the  supervision  of  the  Division  Surgeon  (6.  O.  S,  par.  1, 25  Jan. 
18),  and  Major  Albert  D.  Davis,  Medical  Corps,  was  detailed  as  surgeon  of  the 
camp,  and  all  line  officers  on  duty  were  relieved  January  25th,  1918.

disease.  With  the  men  who  had  been  A.  W.  O.  L.,  however,  the 
period  in  the  Detention  Camp  was  spent  under  arrest,  and  they 
were  promptly  and  speedily  tried  by  court-martial  when  released.

REGIMENTS — ^BRIGADE  COBfMANDERS  RELIEVED — 

DELAWARE  TROOPS  RELIEVED. 


The  end  of  the  Christmas  holidays  found  the  reorganization 
of  the  division  entirely  completed.  As  the  new  units  now  had 
worked  together  for  some  time,  there  sprung  up  in  the  place  of 
the  esprit  of  the  old  organizations  a  definite  divisional  esprit. 
Every  oflScer  and  man  in  camp  seemed  to  be  making  an  earnest 
effort  to  prepare  himself  for  the  great  contest  which  the  future 
held.  Schools  which  had  been  established  under  the  guidance 
of  the  French  and  British  OflScers  were  continued  in  full  swing. 
A  complete  system  of  trenches  was  established  and  was  occupied 
from  time  to  time  by  various  organizations  under  conditions  as 
nearly  like  those  which  were  later  to  be  met  with  as  was  possible 
without  the  use  of  ball  cartridges.  The  first  complete  trench 
system  at  Camp  McClellan  was  laid  out  by  the  104th  Engi- 
neer Regiment,  under  the  direction  of  Lieutenant  Louis  Pierson 
of  the  French  Engineers^  The  trench  system  was  started  on 
December  2nd  and  by  Christmas  the  greater  part  of  the  work  was 
completed.  Dugouts  for  Command  Posts  for  battalion,  regi- 
mental and  brigade  commanders  were  constructed,  as  well  as 
observation  posts  and  outlined  artillery  positions.  A  complete 
system  of  communication  was  then  installed.  Though  constructed 
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  instructing  the  Signal  Corps  personnel 
in  establishing  and  maintaining  communication.  General  Morton 
and  his  staff,  and  the  brigade  and  regimental  commanders  and 
their  staffs,  as  well  as  the  personnel  of  the  line  organizations 
generally  were  interested  inspectors  of  this  complete  trench 
system. 

A  splendid  range  both  for  small  arms^  practice  and  for  artillery 
was  prepared,  with  the  result  that  every  man  in  the  division  had 
an  opportunity  to  learn  the  use  of  the  arm  with  which  he  was 

'  In  order  to  secure  advantage  of  Lieutenant  Pierson*s  assistance  both  as  a  lecturer  and 
as  a  man  having  practical  knowledge,  it  was  necessary  to  utilize  the  services  of 
Corporal  Remy  Chatain,  of  Company  C,  as  an  interpreter. 

'A  detail  from  the  Signal  Battalion  under  Captain  Woods  installed  an  elaborate  fire 
control  telephone  system  on  the  small  arms  range.

equipped,  while  specialists  in  the  use  of  the  automatic  rifle, 
machine  guns,  one  pounders,  and  grenades  were  carefully  and 
fully  trained. 

Regular  Officers  in  Command  of  Regiments, 

During  the  Christmas  holidays  orders  came  directing  that 
various  field  officers*  be  sent  to  the  Brigade  and  Field  Officers' 
Schools  at  Fort  Sam  Houston,  Texas.  Certain  colonels  from  the 
regular  army  were  sent  to  command  the  various  regiments  tem- 
porarily. Colonel  A.  A.  Van  Walraven,  formerly  colonel  of  the  5th 
New  Jersey  Infantry,  had  been  relieved  early  in  December  of 
the  command  of  the  114th  Infantry,  and  Colonel  Thomas  D. 
Landon  assigned  to  command^.  While  Colonel  Landon  was  absent 
at  school  the  regiment  was  commanded  by  Colonel  Fred  G.  Strit- 
zinger,  National  Army*. 

At  the  same  time  upon  the  retirement  for  physical  disabiUty 
of  Colonel  Charles  A.  Little,  who  had  originally  commanded  the

formed  115th,  Colonel  Frank  B.  Watson,  National  Army*,  was 
assigned  to  the  command  of  that  regiment  until  Lieutenant- 
Colonel  Milton  A.  Reckord  returned  from  the  Field  Officers'

Colonel  John  E.  Woodward,  National  Army,  was  assigned  to 
the  command^  of  the  113  th  Infantry  when  Colonel  John  D.  Fraser, 
who  had  originally  commanded  the  1st  New  Jersey  Infantry,  and 
who  was  later  assigned  to  the  command  of  the  llSth  Infantry 
upon  its  organization,  was  found  physically  disabled.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Colonel  Hansford  L.  Threlkeld,  National  Army*,  was  assigned 
to  the  command  of  the  116th,  relieving  Colonel  R.  F.  Leedy 
who  originally  had  commanded  the  2nd  Virginia  Infantry,  and 
who  had  commanded  the  116th  since  its  organization.  Colonel 
Leedy  was  relieved  from  duty  with  this  division  and  sent  to 
another  camp. 

Lieutenant-Colonel  Ned  B.  RehkofT,  Lieutenant-Colonel  E.  B. 
Martindale  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  W.  S.Wood,  all  of  the  Regular 
Army,  commanded  respectively  the  110th,  111th,  and  112th 
Heavy  Field  Artillery  Regiments  while  the  colonels  of  those 
regiments  were  attending  the  school  for  brigade  and  field  officers. 

The  regiments  while  commanded  by  these  excellent  officers  of 
the  Regular  Army  made  great  strides  forward.  Aside  from  their 
larger  experience  and  greater  training  they  were  relieved  from  the 
strain  and  constant  fear  of  removal  under  which  their  predecessors 
labored. 

Brigade  Commanders  Relieved. 

Having  now  effected  the  reorganization,  it  became  necessary, 
in  view  of  the  demands  of  General  Pershing  that  none  but  officers 
physically  and  professionally  fit  for  service  be  sent  overseas,  for 
all  general  officers  to  appear  before  examining  boards  at  the  Army 
Medical  School  at  Washington.  Boards  of  medical  officers  were 
created  in  camp  to  examine  all  field  officers,  and  later  other  boards 
were  created  to  examine  all  captains  and  lieutenants.  Thus, 
those  men  who  were  physically  unfit  were  weeded  out,  and  men 
put  into  their  places  to  be  trained  and  developed.  It  was  a  source 
of  deep  regret  to  the  officers  and  men  of  the  58th  Brigade  as  well 
as  of  the  division  generally  that  Brigadier-General  Charles  D. 
Gaither,  formerly  in  command  of  the  Brigade  of  National  Guard 
Troops  from  Maryland,  and  Brigadier-General  C.  C.  Vaughan, 
Jr.,  formerly  in  command  of  the  Brigade  of  National  Guard  Troops 
from  Virginia,  were  found  physically  disqualified.  General 
Vaughan  had  succeeded  to  the  temporary  command  of  the 
Brigade  on  December  28th*.

DELAWARE  TROOPS  RELIEVED 

Delaware  Troops  Relieved. 

Among  the  many  disturbing  orders  which  were  received  from 
time  to  time  and  which  caused  a  serious  break  in  the  training  of 
the  division  as  well  as  an  impairment  of  its  general  efficiency, 
were  those  directing  the  withdrawal  of  all  officers  and  enlisted 
men  of  the  old  1st  Delaware  Infantry,  as  well  as  all  drafted  men 
from  the  State  of  Delaware  then  in  organizations  of  the  29th 
Division.  These  men  were  sent  to  Camp  Dix,  N.  J.,  where  they 
became  pioneer  infantry.  As  a  result  of  the  withdrawal  of  the 
Delaware  troops,  it  became  necessary  to  reorganize  the  3rd 
Battalion  of  the  114  th  Infantry,  for  which  purpose  men  were 
drawn  for  the  most  part  from  other  companies  of  that  regiment.

CHAPTER  IX. 

THE  OFEICISS'  TRAINING  CAMPS. 


January  5  th  saw  the  establishment^  of  one  of  the  series  of 
Third  OflBcers'  Training  Camps  at  Camp  McClellan.  These 
camps  had  been  in  operation  in  various  places  throughout  the 
country  since  a  few  months  after  the  entrance  of  the  United 
States  into  the  war  but  now  underwent  a  change  of  system. 
Instead  of  allowing  civilians  to  enter  these  camps  without  neces- 
sarily entailing  upon  them  any  obligation  to  serve  unless  com- 
missionedy  the  third  series  of  camps  was  held  in  divisional  camps 
throughout  the  country  and  was  established  primarily  togive  worthy 
and  qualified  enlisted  men  already  in  service  the  fullest  oppor- 
tunity to  obtain  commissions.  To  this  series  of  camps  came 
not  only  members  of  the  divisions  then  occupying  such  camp,  but 
also  men  from  other  camps.  Those  civilians  who  had  been 
appointed  to  a  camp  in  the  second  series  and  who  had  not  com- 
pleted their  course  were  also  allowed  to  take  this  training,  which, 
as  in  the  camps  of  the  first  and  second  series,  extended  over  a 
period  of  three  months.  The  personnel  for  the  administration 
and  instruction  at  this  camp  was:  Commanding  OflScer,  Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel Robert  E.  CraighilP;  Senior  Instructor,  Major 
Harvey  L.  Jones;  Assistant  Senior  Instructor,  Captain  Conrad 
Johnson;  Assistant  Senior  Instructor,  Captain  George  A.  Bonnet; 
Adjutant,  Captain  Charles  M.  East;  Mess  Officer,  Captain  Daniel 
J.  Murphy;  Infantry  Instructors,  1st  Lieutenant  Herbert  D.  May, 
1st  Lieutenant  Phillip  C.  Mclntyre,  1st  Lieutenant  Joseph  E. 
IVIirandon,  1st  Lieutenant  George  M.  Gilkeson,  2nd  Lieutenant 
Fred  C.  Dawson;  Field  Artillery  Instructors,  Captain  Robert  L. 
Simmonds,  1st  Lieutenant  Charles  W.  Fritz,  1st  Lieutenant 
Ellwood  S.  Moorehead,  1st  Lieutenant  Robert  G.  Sugden;  Signal 
Corps  Instructor,  Captain  Christian  Heidt,  2nd;  Engineer  In- 
structor, Captain  Ernest  O.  Sweetser.    Company  M,  115th  In- 

»  G.  O.  45,  par.  1,  24  Dec.  17. 

'  Colonel  Craighill  was  ordered  to  the  school  for  Brigade  and  Field  Officers  shortly  after 
the  Training  Camp  was  started,  and  Major  Harvey  L.  Jones,  formerly  of  the  4ti^ 
Maryland  Infantry  and  later  assistant  to  the  camp  Inspector,  was  assigned  to 
command. 

(38] 


THE  OFFICERS'  TRAINING  CAMPS 

fan  try,  and  Battery  A,  110th  Field  Artillery  were  attached  to 
the  school  for  instruction  purposes. 

After  completing  successfully  the  three  months'  course  the 
successful  graduates  were  designated  "oflScer  candidates."  One 
hundred  and  forty-five  of  the  graduates  were  assigned  on  May 
11th,  1918^  to  units  of  this  division.  The  successful  graduates 
not  assigned  to  the  29th  Division  were  sent  to  Camp  Lee,  Va., 
for  assignment.^ 

Care  was  taken  that  the  graduates  from  these  schools  were 
sent  to  units  from  other  states  than  those  from  which  they  had 
come.  This  was  done  not  only  to  bring  men  from  two  sections 
of  the  country  together  but  also  to  avoid  having  men  who  were 
formerly  enlisted  men  becoming  oflScers  in  the  same  commands 
from  which  they  had  been  appointed. 

Probably  no  single  work  of  preparation  for  our  participation 
in  the  war  was  better  handled  than  was  the  establishment  and 
management  of  the  Officers'  Training  Camps;  and  it  was  a  source 
of  gratification  to  those  who  had  followed  the  work  of  training 
officers  that  the  lessons  of  the  first  and  second  series  had  been 
learned  and  applied  in  the  conduct  of  the  third.  Men  who  had 
been  commissioned  first  or  second  lieutenants  in  the  first  series 
of  camps  and  had  seen  active  service  at  the  front  sometimes 
were  commanded  at  a  later  time  by  men  who  had  been  commis- 
sioned, say,  as  captains  upon  the  graduation  of  the  class  from 
the  second  series  of  camps.  As  this  naturally  led  to  much  dissatis- 
faction, all  graduates  of  the  third  camps  were  commissioned 
second  lieutenants,  as  is  done  at  West  Point. 

The  third  camps  had  the  added  advantage  that  they  gave 
the  men  in  service  the  first  chance  to  rise.  The  civilian  was  not 
set  on  a  royal  road  to  a  commission  over  the  head  of  the  deserving 
private  or  non-commissioned  officer.  This  was  particularly 
gratifying  to  the  members  of  the  National  Guard,  who  had 
suffered  from  the  rulings  made  for  the  first  camp  that  only  a 
certain  percentage  of  the  enlisted  men  in  organizations  already 
in  federal  service  could  apply  for  admission,  while  any  civilian 
or  national  guardsman  not  in  federal  service,  could  apply  without 
hindrance.

COBOnSSIONED      OFFICERS — ^NATURALIZATION     OF 

FOREIGN    BORN    MEN — SAILING    ORDERS. 


A  telegram  from  the  War  Department  on  March  13th  brought 
the  news  that  General  Morton,  who  had  been  ordered  before  a 
physical  examining  board  in  Washington,  had  been  found 
physically  unfit  for  foreign  service  and  would  be  assigned  other 
duties  in  this  country.  This  announcement  was  received  with 
genuine  and  deep  regret  at  camp^  The  division  realized  that 
General  Morton  was  an  excellent  administrator  and  organizer 
as  well  as  a  strict  disciplinarian,  and  his  relief  at  this  time  unques- 
tionably would  have  delayed  seriously  the  sailing  of  the  division. 
The  fact  that  the  general  had  been  sick  for  a  while  in  France  and 
for  sometime  after  his  return  from  overseas  service  had  given 
cause  for  apprehension  lest  he  might  not  survive  the  stringent 
physical  examination  then  given  general  officers.  It  was  a  source 
of  genuine  satisfaction  that  the  ruling  was  reversed  a  few  weeks 
later  and  General  Morton  was  returned  to  the  command  of  the 
division. 

Preparations  for  Departure. 

Preparations  for  departure  now  proceeded  apace.  Captain 
John  L.  Gaunt  was  appointed  Assistant  to,  and  assumed  the  duties 
of,  the  Divisional  Intelligence  Officer,  Captain  Cutchins,  who  had 
been  ordered  abroad  in  December  for  special  training  in  General 
Staff  work.  Major  R.  C.  Cotton,  National  Army,  Division 
Signal  Officer,  was  detailed  as  acting  assistant  Chief  of  Staffs 
in  place  of  Major  F.  W.  Brabson^,  National  Army,  who  had  been 
ordered  abroad  in  February  to  attend  the  Army  General  Staff 
College.    This  resulted  in  the  assignment  of  Major  Charles  B. 

1  "There  is  a  rumor  that  General  Morton  has  been  declared  physically  unfit  for  overseas 
service,  and  still  another  that  Washington  has  reversed  the  ruling.  We  hope  so; 
although  in  the  words  of  the  ranks,  'He'd  make  you  wear  your  blouse  in  hell ,  he's 
a  fine  soldier  and  has  made  this  division  what  it  is." — Captain  Boyd's  Battery. 

>  S.  O.  50,  par.  1,  19  Feb.  18. 

'Major  Brabson,  unfortunately,  did  not  rejoin  the  division.  After  graduating  from 
the  Second  Course  at  the  Army  General  Staff  College  he  was  made  an  instructor  for 
the  Third  Course,  and  later  became  Chief  of  Staff  of  the  88th  Division.

Field  Signal  Battalion. 

A  divisional  Machine  Gmi  OflBcer  having  been  added  to  the 
Division  Staff,  Major  James  H.  Washburn,  110th  Machine  Gun 
Battalion  was  designated  to  serve  in  that  capacity,  in  addition 
to  his  other  duties.  He  was  later  relieved  of  the  additional  duty 
and  Captain  Millard  E.  Tydings,  named  in  his  stead. 

Lieutenant-Colonel  C.  R.  Snyder,  Medical  Corps,  U.  S.  A.,  and 
Major  Junius  F.  Lynch,  formerly  of  the  Virginia  Medical  Corps, 
having  been  relieved  from  duty  as  Division  Surgeon  and  Assistant 
Division  Surgeon,  respectively,  and  assigned  to  duties  out  of  the 
division,  were  succeeded  by  Lieutenant-Colonel  John  B.  Huggins, 
Medical  Corps,  U.  S.  A.,  and  1st  Lieutenant  Guy  B.  Denit^ 
formerly  of  the  Virginia  Medical  Corps. 

The  many  rumors  of  an  early  departure  finally  seemed  well 
founded  when  toward  the  latter  part  of  May  it  became  known 
that  an  advance  party  was  ordered'  to  France.  This  party 
consisted  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  W.  A.  Cadmus,  113th  Infantry, 
Major  R.  C.  Cotton,  Acting  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff,  Major 
Sanderford  Jarman,  Ordnance  OflScer,  Major  Walter  V.  Shipley,

General  Morton  Addresses  Officers  and  Non-Commissioned  Officers. 

On  June  1st,  1918,  further  evidence  of  impending  departure 
came  in  what  probably  was  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  inspir- 
ing occasions  which  Camp  McClellan  witnessed — the  meeting  of 
all  oflScers  and  non-commissioned  officers  in  the  division,  called 
by  General  Morton  just  before  leaving  the  camp,  and  held  on 
the  hill  behind  the  Division  Headquarters'  Building.  The  men 
were  addressed*  by  the  general  who  told  them  that  the  time  was 
soon  approaching  when  the  division  would  go  overseas  to  meet 
its  final  test  in  battle,  that  this  would  be  the  last  time  when  a 
meeting  such  as  this  could  ever  be  held,  and  that  he  desired  to 
say  a  few  words  to  them  about  the  difficulties  which  their  overseas 
service  would  bring,  and  to  reaffirm  his  pride  in  the  division  and 
his  high  expectation  of  the  account  it  would  render  of  itself  in 
France.  He  impressed  on  the  non-commissioned  officers  particu- 
larly the  importance  of  their  duties  in  time  of  battle,  and  the 
necessity  for  the  enforcement  of  strict  oiscipline  by  them,  and 
on  the  other  hand,  he  demanded  of  them  the  most  loyal  support 
of  and  implicit  obedience  to  their  officers,  urging  them  to  be 
prepared  to  assume  large  responsibilities.  He  pointed  out  to 
them  the  inevitable  toll  which  the  enemy  would  take. of  the 
officers,  and  the  necessity  which  would  often  arise  for  a  non-com- 
missioned officer  to  assume  command  of  his  company,  possibly 
without  any  instructions  from  higher  authority,  when  the  holding 

'"The  General  is  going  to  stay  with  us.  What's  more,  we're  goin^  overseas  together. 
We  know  this  not  by  rumor;  he  called  all  the  non-comms.  of  his  division  together  and 
standing  on  a  hilltop,  made  them  a  litUe  speech.  We  sat  on  the  ground  of  perhaps 
five  acres  and  he  talked  to  us,  a  fine,  soldierly  figure,  for  all  his  white  hair.  Every 
man  could  hear  every  word  he  said.  It  was  a  simple  talk,  and  he  did  it  simply, 
humanly  and  well.  The  next  day  he  left  camp  for  tne  north,  and  the  commanding 
Brigadier  let  us  take  our  blouses  off.  Everything's  lovely." — Captain  Boyd's  Battery, 
A.  E.  F. 

[42] 


NATURALIZATION  OF  FOREIGN  BORN  MEN 

of  an  important  position  or  the  safety  of  numbers  of  men  would 
depend  upon  his  judgment,  coolness  and  capacity  for  leadership. 

Certainly,  no  single  act  of  General  Morton's  whole  career 
as  commander  of  the  division  ever  received  such  a  response. 
The  men,  and  particularly  the  non-commissioned  officers,  were 
pleased  to  feel  tliat  they  had  been  gathered  together  and  spoken 
to  as  men  having  high  ideals  and  large  responsibilities,  carrying 
large  opportunities — as  men  to  be  "led"  and  not  "driven". 
They  returned  to  their  various  organizations  and  so  thoroughly 
succeeded  in  implanting  the  spirit  of  the  talk  which  they  had 
heard  into  the  minds  of  the  men  under  them  that  it  can  be  said 
without  exaggeration  that  when  the  orders  came  for  entraining 
it  found  the  division  a  unit  in  spirit  and  in  fact  to  an  extent  never 
before  reaUzed  or  attained. 

General  Morton  had  stepped  out  from  the  role  in  which  he  had 
appeared  to  most  of  them — a  "Driver",  and  a  "Disciplinary 
Machine",  and  had  become  for  the  time  a  "Leader", — a  com- 
missioned officer  gathering  his  subordinates  about  him  and  talking 
to  them  humanly,  inspiring  them  with  patriotism,  with  courage 
and  with  team  play ! 

The  sending  of  the  advanced  party  and  General  Morton's 
talk  convinced  even  the  most  pessimistic  that  the  time  of 
departure  was  drawing  near.  It  had  begun  to  ^eem  to  the  men 
that  sailing  orders  would  never  come  and  that  the  war  would 
undoubtedly  end  before  the  29th  Division  could  get  into  it.  Their 
pessimism  in  this  particular  was  shown  when  a  certain  evangelist 
came  to  Anniston  and  put  up  large  signs:  "Where  will  you  spend 
eternity?"  Under  one  of  the  signs  some  wag  had  written  the 
terse  answer:    "At  Camp  McClellan." 

N (duralizaiion  of  Foreign  Bom  Men. 

One  of  the  most  unique  scenes  ever  beheld  in  this  or  any  other 
country,  doubtless,  was  the  ceremony  arranged  by  1st  Lieutenant 
George  Scott  Stewart,  Jr.,  Division  Insurance  Officer,  which  took 
place  in  the  115th  Infantry's  Post  Exchange  Building,  on  Tuesday 
afternoon,  May  28th,  1918,  when  U.  S.  District  Judge  Henry  A. 
Clayton  began  a  two  days'  session  of  the  United  States  District 
Court  for  the  purpose  of  making  700  or  800  men  of  the  Blue  and 
Gray  Division  in  name  what  they  already  had  proven  themselves 
to  be  in  fact,  American  citizens.     With  a  full  complement  of

court  officials,  including  the  U.  S.  Marshal,  Clerk,  Court  Crier  and 
the  Deputy  Marshal,  from  Birmingham,  Ala.,  the  Judge  solemnly 
administered  the  Oath  of  Naturalization  to  these  foreign  born 
soldiers  of  the  Army  of  the  United  States.  The  men  thus  admitted 
to  citizenship  were  vouched  for  by  their  company  officers  who  had 
known  and  observed  them  for  many  months.  About  2,000  of 
the  more  than  5,000  recruits,  who  had  recently  joined  the  division 
as  replacements,  could  not  be  naturalized  because  their  service 
had  been  so  short  the  officers  and  their  fellow  soldiers  had  not 
known  them  for  a  sufficiently  long  time  to  make  the  necessary 
affidavits. 

Not  only  was  it  appropriate  thus  formally  and  officially  to 
determine  the  status  of  the  new  men  who  had  been  already  in 
the  service  of  their  country  for  several  months,  but  the  necessity 
was  reaUzed  of  giving  them  the  utmost  protection  should  they 
fall  into  the  hands  of  the  military  forces  of  a  government  which 
otherwise  would  exercise  sovereignty  over  them.  Naturalization 
at  least  insured  under  the  rules  of  warfare  that  they  would  receive 
the  treatment  of  prisoners,  should  they  be  captured,  and  not  be 
drafted  into  the  armies  of  the  Central  Powers  and  forced  to  fight 
against  their  own  comrades  in  arms. 

Sailing  Orders. 

Preparations  were  now  completed.  Officers  and  men  who 
were  considered  physically  or  professionally  unfit  had  been 
eliminated  for  the  most  part,  and  formed  into  an  organization  to 
be  left  behind.  When  confidential  orders  (General  Orders  No.  25) 
were  issued  on  May  25th  to  the  eflFect  that  "all  units  of  this  divi- 
sion will  be  sent  to  a  port  of  embarkation,  date  of  departure  and 
place  to  be  verbally  announced"  it  found  all  ranks  ready  and 
anxious  to  begin  the  journey  toward  the  fighting  front.  The  work 
of  policing  the  camp  and  the  general  preparations  for  departure 
were  taken  up  with  a  will  and  on  June  5th  Division  Headquarters 
moved  from  Camp  McClellan  to  Camp  Stuart,  Newport  News, 
Virginia. 

At  this  time  the  following  named  officers  commanded  the 
units  of  the  division:  Brigadier-General  Charles  W.  Barber,  the 
57th  Brigade,  Colonel  Harry  C.  Jones,  the  113th  Infantry,  Colonel 
Thomas  D.  Landon,  the  114th  Infantry,  Brigadier-General  H.  H.

CHAPTER  XI. 

REORGANIZATION  SEEN  THROUGH  THE  EYES  OF  THE  REORGANIZED. 


The  story  of  the  organization  of  the  division  has  been  told 
in  the  previous  pages  as  it  appears  from  official  records  and  from 
observation  from  Division  Headquarters.  The  following  sprightly 
account  from  the  pen  of  a  man  in  the  company  street  sums  up 
the  difficulties  that  were  met  and  surmounted,  the  joys  and  sorrows 
of  camp  life,  and  the  thoughts,  hopes  and  aspirations  of  the 
"doughboy".  He  it  is  who  should  tell  his  story  to  his  people  at 
home.  He  writes  the  experiences  of  a  headquarters  company^ 
These  were  not  essentially  diflferent  from  those  of  the  other  com- 
panies— and  where  diflferent,  they  either  "adorn  the  tale"  or 
"point  a  moral": 

*^In  looking  back  for  a  year  and  a  half  over  the  vicissitudes  of  an 
infantiy  Headquarters  Company,  and  viewing  it  then  and  now,  one 
sees  a  well  co-ordinated  though  somewhat  unwieldy  organization 
as  compared  with  a  heterogenous  mass  of  unknown  and  undeveloped 
units,  composed  of  the  outcasts  of  the  line  companies. 

*' Little  was  known  of  Headquarters  Company  then,  and  less  was 
cared,  save  that  it  was  a  good  asylum  for  the  lame,  the  halt  and  the 
blind  that  the  various  old  company  commanders  considered  their 
just  privilege  to  make  companions  for  the  red-headed  orphan  child, 
sired  by  the  new  Tables  of  Organization.  A  hazy  understanding  was 
had  of  its  duties  or  its  mission  in  the  regimental  family  so  that  it 
became  to  the  lettered  companies  merely  'Headquarters  Company'. 
This  is  not  by  way  of  unkind  criticism,  because  then  it  was  natural, 
for  the  reason  that  the  Line  felt  that  Headquarters  Company  was 
more  or  less  a  sinecure  outfit  composed  of  a  staff,  a  band,  and  a  few 
clerks  and  that  the  real  flesh  and  blood,  to  do  the  hammer-and-tongs 
fighting,  should  be  in  the  battalions.  No  one  appreciated  at  first 
just  how  important  were  the  duties  of  this  new  company.  I  say  new 
because  there  had  never  been  anything  like  it  before.  Complex 
liaison,  One-Pounder,  Stokes-Mortar  and  Pioneer  Platoons  were 
known  by  name  and  nothing  more.  A  regimental  unit,  one  to  aid 
and  function  with  the  regiment  as  a  whole  within  its  own  family  was 
not  comprehended.  It  was  a  new  departure  and  had  to  prove  its 
worth  before  being  accepted  as  a  brother  by  the  elan  of  the  army, — 
the  Lifantry.    This  it  has  done  and  has  made  its  place  with  its  com-

rades  in  the  battalioiis:  throughout  the  war  they  have  laughed, 
cussed,  fought,  suffered,  bled  and  died  together! 

"Early  in  September,  1917,  the  old  Maryland  National  Guard  units 
composing  the  First,  Fourth,  and  Fifth  Regiments  of  Infantry, 
which  had  been  doing  outpost  duty  at  different  vital  points  through- 
out the  State  were  ordered  to  report  to  Camp  McClellan,  Alabama, 
to  be  reorganized  and  welded  into  new  units  of  the  29th  Division. 
There  they  gathered  full  of  hope  and  expectancy  for  a  short  period 
of  training  and  then — ^across  the  water  to  lick  the  Hun!  They  never 
doubted  for  an  instant  their  ability  to  do  it.  There  was  justice,  too, 
in  the  feeling  of  these  men  that  they  needed  but  a  short  time  to  get 
in  harness  after  a  long  and  hard  tour  of  duty  on  the  Mexican  border, 
but  there  was  in  modem  warfare  much  of  which  they  had  never 
dreamed.  It  was  all  a  new  game,  they  were  told,  so  when  the  trains 
rolled  in  from  New  Jersey,  Delaware,  Maryland,  District  of  Columbia 
and  Virginia,  bringing  their  cargoes  of  youth,  hope,  strength  and 
determination,  there  was  poured  out  amidst  the  ragged  and  rocky 
hills  of  the  Choccolocco  Mountains,  a  vast  and  mighty  force  for 
the  preservation  of  Liberty — unpolished  as  yet,  crude  and  awkward, 
but  willing,  buoyant,  full  of  the  vigor  of  youth  and  the  joy  of 
living. 

"Out  of  the  'fragments '  of  these  proud  old  infantry  regiments  was 
formed  the  Headquarters  Company  of  the  115th  Infantry.  There 
was  much  confusion  everywhere  at  the  beginning  because  everything 
was  changed  and  enlarged.  The  best  part  of  three  infantry  regi- 
ments were  compressed  into  one  to  fill  the  ranks  of  the  new  regiment, 
which  now  was  to  consist  of  over  8700  men.  The  oflBcers  who  came 
into  the  new  organization  wisely  retained  their  best  men  for  their 
own  commands,  which  had  grown  overnight  into  young  giants,  and 
the  Headquarters  Company  got  what  was  left.  But  there  were  good 
men  in  the  Headquarters  Company  of  the  old  First  Maryland 
Infantry  which  formed  a  nucleus  and  the  seventy  odd  men  picked 
from  G  Company  of  the  Fourth  Maryland  Infantry,  who  came  over 
bringing  with  them  their  company  commander  for  whom  was  the 
task  of  making  the  new  company.  Under  the  discarded  tables  of 
organization  Headquarters  Company  called  for  one  captain,  who  was 
the  regimental  adjutant,  the  headquarters  clerical  force  proper,  a 
few  mounted  orderlies  and  the  band:  fifty-two  men  in  all.  Aroimd 
this  was  built  a  company  containing  295  men  and  7  oiScers.  M 
Company  of  the  First,  G  and  L  Companies  of  the  Fourth  and  B  and 
I  Companies  of  the  Fifth  made  the  bulk  of  contributions  and  on  the 
first  of  October,  1917  the  115th  Infantry  Headquarters  Company 
was  given  life. 

"Then  began  the  task  of  trying  to  fit  the  men  into  the  platoons,  the 
duties  of  which  they  were  best  qualified  to  execute.  It  was  a  long 
and  arduous  undertaking.    Some  of  the  men  were  not  fit  for  any  of

REORGANIZATION 

a  soldier's  responsibilities  on  account  of  mental,  physical  or  moral 
shortcomings;  there  were  not  many  of  these,  however,  and  they  were 
gradually  disposed  of — ^as  speed  in  cutting  out  undesirables  is 
known  in  the  army — so  that  when  the  period  of  intensive  training 
began  on  the  15th  of  October,  1917,  a  fairly  good  working  organiza- 
tion, though  necessarily  temporary  was  formed;  and  the  ignorance 
of  all  the  oflScers  of  just  what  was  expected  of  this  big,  awkward  unit 
was  profound. 

""But  before  the  men  could  knuckle  down  to  work  a  habitable  com- 
pany area  had  to  be  made  and  this  was  no  light  task.  The  space 
assigned  for  the  company's  home  was  once  a  very  poor  cotton  patch 
of  the  bumble  bee  type,  where  stones  and  trees  and  stumps  occupied 
a  joint  tenancy  along  the  hillside,  with  the  crop.  Details,  with  the 
few  axes  obtainable,  together  with  an  old  'nigger'  and  his  couple 
of  mules  and  a  stump  puller,  with  the  further  aid  of  a  wheel  barrow, 
managed  to  clear  a  fairly  level  and  decent  place  to  pitch  the  long 
line  of  tents,  which  stretched  from  the  mess  shed  to  the  bath  houses, 
two  hundi^ed  meters,  and  half  way  back  again:  in  all,  forty-two  pyra- 
midal squad  tents.  A  great  amount  of  construction  work  was  done 
by  the  men  before  the  real  grind  of  soldiering  began,  and  when  train- 
ing began  they  had  a  fair  living  place  to  which  to  return  at  the  end 
of  the  day's  duty  and  could  move  about  in  their  company  street 
with  reasonable  safety. 

*'  The  division  put  out  a  schedule  of  instruction  which  was  progressive 
and  designed  to  cover  a  period  of  a  certain  number  of  weeks.  At  the 
end  of  this  time  the  men  were  supposed  to  have  absorbed  enough  to 
make  them  fairly  good  soldiers  and  with  enough  of  the  ground  work 
to  construct  that  final  masterpiece  "" the  American  Infantrymen". 
Numerous  varied  and  exhaustive  pamphlets  were  issued  by  the 
War  Department  marked  'Confidential'  and  'Not  to  be  Taken  into 
the  Front  Line  Trenches'.  These  were  presumed  to  be  absorbed  by 
the  oflScers  and  imparted  to  the  men.  There  was  much  that  was 
good  in  them;  much  that  had  to  be  learned  and  forgotten,  because 
the  game  of  war  is  not  constant;  but  they  were  issued  in  such  quantity 
and  covered  so  wide  a  scope  that  it  was  impossible  for  the  officers  to 
master  them  and  at  the  same  time  attend  to  their  varied  duties  as 
students  and  instructors.  The  work  however  got  well  under  way 
and  gathered  momentum  as  it  went.  With  the  lettered  companies 
it  was  far  easier,  because  they  had  only  to  follow  the  regular  schedule, 
but  with  Headquarters  Company  it  was  another  problem.  Here 
the  framework  was  all  different  and  the  officers  understood  that  they 
must  make  another  sort  of  machine  if  the  platoons  were  to  function 
properly.  There  was  however  no  precedent  and  no  exact  informa- 
tion to  be  gained,  either  from  higher  authority  or  from  written 
works,  so  the  company  had  to  pursue,  for  the  most  part,  the  daily 
work  of  the  line  companies,  diverging  wherever  possible  into  some 
branch  of  training  that  would  be  of  especial  benefit  to  the  platoon 

[49] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

concerned.  This  training  turned  out  in  the  end  not  to  be  a  bad  thing, 
because  the  men  were  coached  first  to  be  proficient  infantrymen 
before  being  especially  instructed  in  their  specialties. 

"  Close  order  drill — the  beginning  and  end  of  a  soldier's  life,  the  bane 
of  his  existence,  yet  the  backbone  of  his  efficiency — was  hammered 
into  him  day  in  and  out.  'Squads  East  and  West'  became  the 
torture  of  his  life.  The  school  of  the  soldier,  squad,  platoon, 
company,  close  and  extended  order,  parades,  manoeuvers  and 
field  exercises  all  came  in  due  course  and  with  the  days  and  weeks 
the  men  developed,  grew  and  tightened  up  as  soldiers.  The  slouch 
and  droop  of  the  shoulders  were  squared  by  hardened  muscles; 
heads  became  more  erect  and  salutes  snappier  and  more  business 
like;  the  uniform  came  to  cover  the  soldier  and  not  just  clothe  the 
citizen;  the  development  was  slow,  though  very  certain. 

**  On  the  small  flat  bottom  across  the  road  back  of  the  line  of  officers' 
tents  and  across  the  stream  beyond  the  bath  house  the  men  worked 
and  sweated,  or  ploughed  through  the  mud,  for  eight  weary  hours  a 
day  fitting  themselves  someday  to  whip  the  Boche  who  they  were 
taught  and  easily  learned  to  hate.  It  was  a  grind,  long,  steady  and 
unrelenting,  but  it  had  to  be;  they  were  eager  and  willing  in  their 
hearts  but  they  cussed  and  grumbled  like  all  good  American  soldiers. 
One  could  hear  the  yap  and  grunt  of  the  men  as  they  thrust,  jabbed 
or  parried  with  their  bayonets,  like  a  pack  of  strange  wolfish  animals 
— Uie  look  of  hate  written  on  their  faces  was  enough  to  alarm  the 
fiercest  Prussian — this,  they  were  taught  by  our  British  instructors, 
was  the  'spirit  of  the  bayonet'.  Then  one  could  see  groups  of  men 
lobbing  stones,  representing  grenades,  at  targets  of  outlined  trenches 
or  shell  holes.  Precision  of  form  and  accuracy  of  markmanship  were 
dwelt  upon  and  no  throw  of  the  baseball  style  was  allowed.  Periods 
of  quickening  exercises  to  make  the  body  agile  and  alert  and  decision 
fast  were  had,  but  always  afterwards  came  the  time  to  follow  up  with 
close  order  drill  to  bring  back  smartness  of  movement  and  immediate 
response  to  the  will  of  the  commander.  Trenches  were  built  with 
technical  accuracy  as  to  detail  and  then  were  assaulted  and  mopped 
up  by  grenadiers  in  mimic  warfare.  Visual  signalling  by  semaphore 
and  wig-wag  was  stressed  until  a  large  percentage  of  the  men  became 
proficient  in  sending  and  receiving  messages. 

''To  aid  in  the  development  and  training,  divisional  schools  were 
started  and  British  and  French  Officers  and  non-commissioned 
officers  who  had  been  in  the  big  game  on  the  other  side  came  as 
instructors.  Soon  our  own  officers  who  had  special  instruction  at 
Fort  Sill  were  added  to  the  corps  of  teachers  and  both  officers  and 
non-comms.  were  sent  to  school  to  learn  the  last  word  in  modem 
warfare.  After  a  course  lasting  from  two  to  four  weeks  they  would 
return  to  their  companies  to  instruct  the  men.  Schools  in  the 
grenade,  bayonet,  musketry,  automatic  arms,  sniping,  scouting, 

[50] 


REOROANIZATION 

signalling,  field  fortifications  and  schools  for  wagons  and  farriers, 
mess  sergeants  and  cooks,  etc.,  were  opened  and  details  were  sent 
from  the  various  units  to  attend  them;  every  branch  of  the  highly 
complex  infantry  schemes  was  taught.  After  a  while  as  the  work 
progressed  and  more  of  the  selected  officers  and  non-comms.  had 
mastered  this  instruction,  the  fruits  of  their  labors  began  to  show 
in  the  company,  and  increased  efficiency  resulted;  discipline  became 
more  of  a  habit,  and  a  soldierly  bearing  more  natural. 

"  Yet  with  all  of  this  intensive  training  the  Headquarters  Company 
was  not  realizing  its  highest  hopes  and  was  still  groping  in  the  dark. 
The  *  One-Pounder'  was  a  name  only.  Some  of  the  men  had  once 
been  in  the  navy  and  had  used  a  one-pounder  naval  gun  but  couldn't 
figure  how  it  was  going  to  be  used  in  the  infantry.  A  French  37 
millimeter  gun  was  talked  of  in  a  vague  way,  for  they  knew  it  was  to 
be  theirs  some  day,  but  there  was  nothing  written  about  it,  which 
could  be  obtained.  Like  the  rest,  they  followed  the  infantry  schedule 
on  the  range  and  drill  field,  and  built  upon  the  rock  foundation 
of  good  infantrymen.  It  was  the  same  with  the  Pioneer,  Sapper  and 
Bomber  and  Signal  Platoons,  more  or  less,  but  the  latter  did  extra 
work  in  the  semaphore  and  wig-wag. 

**  As  the  winter  came  unwelcomely  on  and  vanished  the  myth  of  the 
'Sunny  South',  so  the  mud  and  the  rain  and  the  cold  accompanied 
it  to  make  the  soldier's  life  joyless.  No  weather  conditions  slackened 
the  grind  of  the  schedule.  When  the  weather  was  too  bad  to  be  in 
the  open,  which  was  seldom  conceded,  then  the  same  hours  were 
occupied  indoors,  in  the  big  mess  halls,  to  impart  military  knowledge 
to  the  men  and  impress  upon  them  their  responsibility  and  the  bigness 
of  the  task  which  lay  before  them.  The  South,  so  the  natives  said, 
had  seldom  known  such  a  winter,  not  since  the  Spanish  American 
War.  War  to  them  seemed  to  bring  the  bitter,  biting  cold.  Sibley 
stoves  were  put  in  all  the  tents  and  larger  coal  burners  in  the  mess 
sheds.  By  this  time  the  company  mechanics  had  built  the  flooring 
and  raised  the  sides  of  the  tents  with  the  lumber  which  came  in  small 
issues,  so  that  by  the  time  winter  was  well  into  her  discomforts  all 
the  forty-two  tents  were  boarded.  The  stoves  ate  up  much  wood  as 
did  the  incinerators  which  destroyed  the  kitchen  refuse.  The  only 
wood  to  be  gotten  was  from  the  mountains  around,  far  enough  out  of 
camp  to  give  the  men  a  long  hike,  and  each  day  a  detail  was  sent  out 
with  all  the  available  axes  to  chop  down  and  carry  in  on  their 
shoulders  the  day's  supply  of  fuel.  This  green  wood  kept  them  from 
freezing  under  their  canvas  tents.  How  the  cooks  swore  at  the  smoke 
and  lack  of  heat  from  the  logs  that  sputtered  and  baked  but  gave  out 
no  heat!  Coal  was  issued  later.  Sibley  stoves  required  a  spark 
arrester  on  the  top,  fifth,  length  of  the  pipe  that  stuck  out  from  above; 
with  the  arrester  on,  the  smoke  drove  the  men  out  and  with  it  off, 
the  sparks  burned  big  holes  in  the  tent.  Many  tents  were  badly 
burned,  but  of  course  the  spark  arrester  always  was  on.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

"The  roads  to  the  town,  alive  on  Wednesday  and  Saturday  after- 
noons and  Sundays  with  rattling  and  lumbering  Ford  jitneys  and  big 
submarine  busses,  ploughing  and  churning  their  way  to  and  fro 
through  the  mud,  became  impassable.  'Goin'  to  town',  became  a 
familiar  cry  on  all  half  holidays  as  the  men  lined  the  roads  for  a 
ride.  The  price  of  a  twenty-five  cent  fare  to  ride  to  and  from  Camp 
was  often  raised  on  the  anxious  soldiers  returning  before  taps. 
It  was  a  form  of  robbery,  difficult  to  suppress.  Anniston  offered 
the  usual  attractions  to  the  soldier,  ever  eager  to  get  away  from 
camp,  of  bright  lights,  shop  windows,  a  change  of  diet  and  crowds. 
Besides,  many  of  the  men  had  made  friends  there,  for  the  people 
as  a  whole  were  hospitable  and  only  the  small  shop  keepers  who 
lived  upon  the  soldiers  raised  the  prices  of  their  wares. 

"'  During  the  fall  the  military  authorities  began  to  play  the  accordion 
with  the  camp  site.  One  week  it  would  be  moved  down  the  line 
and  compressed.  All  the  tents  would  be  taken  up  and  re-pitched 
and  the  company  street  changed  a  few  feet  further  on.  It  required 
thirty-five  or  forty  men  to  move  a  floor  and  withal  it  was  a  tedious 
work.  The  next  week  the  company  would  expand  and  move  again, 
bag  and  baggage,  beyond  the  first  site. — This  put  joy  into  the  hearts 
of  the  men. — ^Soon  we  would  contract  again  and  then  once  more 
stretch  out.  Four  times  the  company  played  this  game  until  they 
knew  it  by  heart. 

*' Christmas  seemed  about  the  only  cheer  in  the  winter  of  our  dis- 
content. Rumors  that  we  were  to  leave  in  the  fall  for  "over  there" 
went  glimmering.  Now  the  holidays  once  known  in  civil  life  were 
coming.  Every  man  was  more  or  less  expectant  according  to  his 
deserts  of  good  soldiering.  Five  per  cent  of  the  company  were 
allowed  furloughs  to  go  home  and  hang  up  their  socks,  but  they  must 
be  "  A  "  class  men.  The  chosen  must  first  certify  that  they  had  money 
enough  to  get  them  there  and  back.  Some  of  those  who  weren't 
lucky  took  French  leaves  and  went  A.  W.  O.  L.  The  inevitable 
court-martial  took  them  in  upon  their  penitent  return;  extra  bunks 
at  the  stockade  were  installed,  and  the  pay  rolls  had  under  remarks 
"no  pay  due." 


"  With  the  memory  of  a  joyous  vacation,  sans  reveille,  still  fresh  in 
their  minds  the  men  returned  to  a  cold  and  bleak  camp  to  be  gathered 
into  a  cheerless  quarantine  area  for  the  period  of  incubation  of 
measles,  mumps  and  spinal  meningitis — ^There  was  always  something 
to  take  the  joy  out  of  life.  And  who  does  not  remember  the  seemingly 
never-ending  vaccinations  and  the  gleefulness  with  which  the  medical 
men  shot  our  arms  full  of  typhoid  and  para-typhoid  bugs!  But  the 
health  of  the  men  was  remarkably  good  and  the  measles  and  mumps 
cases  were  taken  from  the  company  at  once  and  sent  to  the  hospital; 
all  of  their  tent  mates  were  segregated  and  kept  in  quarantine.  This 
precaution  did  not  prevent  the  whole  regiment  from  being  confined 

[52  1 


REORGANIZATION 

to  quarters  for  several  weeks  after  Christmas  on  account  of  an 
epidemic  of  measles. 

"Many  means  were  devised  to  separate  the  soldier  from  his  hard 
earned  "  thirty  per'*.  First  the  Liberty  Loan  in  which  he  was  offered 
a  chance  to  give  his  money  and  his  life  for  the  cause  of  Democracy. 
The  drive  for  Liberty  Bonds  was  successful  and  practically  every 
man  patriotically  subscribed,  settlement  to  be  taken  out  of  his  soldier 
pay.  It  was  not  long  before  some  of  these  beautifully  engraved  bonds 
made  their  appearance  in  the  great  army  crap  game.  Then  came  the 
War  Risk  Insurance  which  was  the  best  investment  the  soldier  ever 
made.  But  all  of  this  was  not  local  enough  so  the  big  canteen  was 
built  where  the  movies  ran  almost  every  night  for  the  price  of  a 
*  Jitney.'  Sometimes  they  weren't  in  focus,  but  they  were  good  just 
the  same.  Soft  drinks,  ice  cream  cones,  tobacco,  candy  and  every- 
thing from  a  lavalier  for  your  best  girl  down  to  a  shoe  string  "to  be 
laced  crosswise  only",  could  be  purchased.  There  the  band  played 
on  Sunday  nights  when  the  Chaplain  would  have  services  for  a  half 
hour  before  a  large  gathering  of  husky  soldiers  anxiously  awaiting 
the  last  hymn  for  the  curtain  to  rise  on  the  bevy  of  one  time  chorus 
girls  in  the  vaudeville.  These  amusements  did  much  to  break  the 
monotony  of  camp  life,  and  whether  the  productions  were  good  or 
poor  they  served  a  beneficial  purpose. 

"The  winter  dragged  slowly  on  and  zero  weather  came  more  than 
once  to  distress  the  men,  but  they  were  hardened  by  their  constant  work 
in  the  open,  strenuous  exercises,  and  games,  so  Uiat  unkind  elements 
could  not  harm  them.  The  long  hours  on  the  rifle  range  lying  or 
kneeling  in  the  wet  snow,  mud  and  the  cold  wind  was  all  in  a  day's 
work.  A  long  line  of  two  hundred  targets  stretched  out  at  the  base 
of  the  hill  and  it  was  an  inspiring  sight  to  see  the  firing  line  at  rapid 
fire  blazing  away  with  all  targets  up.  Splendid  scores  were  made  with 
the  Sprin^eld  rifle,  that  supreme  fire  weapon  for  accuracy,  and  very 
good  records  with  the  new  service  rifle,  1917  Model,  issued  in  its  place. 

"February  brought  another  rumor  that  the  division  was  scheduled 
for  France  that  month  and  every  one  was  tingling  with  excitement  to 
be  off,  but,  alas,  another  hope  was  dissipated,  and,  instead,  a  new 
schedule  of  intensive  training  was  issued. 

"  By  this  time  the  company  had  undergone  many  changes.  Most  of 
the  driftwood  had  been  disposed  of.  Those  men  found  physically  or 
mentally  unfit  to  stand  the  rigor  of  the  game  were  given  S.  C.  D.^ 
There  were  transfers  and  others  sent  overseas  as  replacements, — 
in  all  cases  not  the  best  men.  It  came  to  be  realized  that  signalmen, 
who  were  to  do  much  of  the  technical  work  of  electricians  and  tele- 
phone men,  could  not  best  be  built  rapidly  out  of  the  men  who  had 
driven  plows  or  made  boilers  most  of  their  days.    With  the  co-opera-

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

lion  of  the  regimental  commander  and  the  aid  of  the  personnel  cards, 
which  each  man  had  to  make  out,  giving  his  civil  occupation,  fit 
material  was  gradually  secured  within  the  regiment.  The  Pioneer 
Platoon  found  some  useful  men  in  the  miners  from  the  western  part 
of  the  state. 

"When  Spring  came  at  last  the  hillsides  blossomed  forth  in  fresh 
beauty ;  the  soft  colors  of  pale  green  and  the  dark  olive  of  the  pine  trees, 
the  white  dogwood  blossoms,  and  the  purple  Judas-flower  tinted  the 
bare  brown  woodlands  of  yesterday;  the  country  was  beautiful.  In 
order  that  the  soldier  could  better  appreciate  the  wonders  of  nature, 
an  hour  of  daylight  was  added  to  his  life  and  the  clock  was  moved 
forward  to  greet  it.  The  joyous  sound  of  reveille^  with  the  field 
music  blasting  out  the  call  to  duty  and  the  shrill  whistles  of  the 
sergeant,  ushered  in  "the  elongated  day." 

"New  and  more  progressive  schedules  were  issued, — more  frequent 
field  work,  hikes,  ceremonies  and  problems.  The  new  rifles  Model 
1917  were  issued  and  the  range  work  with  the  late  changes  of  method 
were  gone  over  with  again.  New  divisional  schools  were  started  and 
the  work  of  the  various  specialists  became  more  proficient  as  more 
men  had  the  advantage  of  these  courses.  A  school  was  started  in  the 
mythical  one-pounder,  after  an  olBScer  had  returned  from  the  first 
Fort  Sill  course  in  this  beautiful  weapon  of  the  infantry.  A  keen 
interest  developed  among  the  men  of  the  One-Pounder  Platoon  as 
they  learned  to  know  the  power  and  accuracy  of  their  wonderfully 
camouflaged  "petit  cannon".  The  work  was  hard,  truly  a  man's 
game,  but  they  gloried  to  be  in  it. 

"The  Stokes-Mortar  Platoon  worked  faithfully  and  well  and  its 
personnel  was  excellent,  but  they  were  greatly  handicapped  by  the 
lack  of  guns  with  which  to  carry  on  their  training,  and  ammunition 
to  fire.  There  were  only  a  couple  of  guns  with  the  division  and  they 
were  used  at  the  school.  All  of  this  materiel  they  were  told  would 
be  issued  us  on  the  other  side;  it  took  much  heart  out  of  the  work. 

"Now  that  the  weather  had  become  mild  and  open,  a  five  day  field 
manoeuver,  beginning  April  5th,  was  held.  This  meant  hard  march- 
ing under  field  conditions,  sleeping  in  shelter  tents,  subsisting  as  in 
campaign  and  fighting  an  assumed  enemy  as  if  the  safety  of  the  land 
depended  upon  the  success  of  the  operations.  At  the  end  of  the 
problem,  and  the  battle  won,  came  the  test  of  the  exercise,  the  famous 
never-to-be-forgotten  Piedmont  hike.  Leaving  the  vicinity  of 
Piedmont  about  9  p.m.,  the  regiment  marched  into  Camp  McClellan 
long  after  the  sun  had  mounted  the  heavens.  It  was  a  long  gruelling 
test  of  eight  and  a  half  hours  with  the  usual  ten  minute  halts.  The 
men  trudged  through  the  black  night  silently,  with  no  smoke  or 
lights  to  ease  the  fatigue  and  monotony.  It  was  a  move  under 
assumed  war  conditions  and  the  game  must  be  played.     Their 

[54]

heavy  packs  of  fifty  or  more  pounds  weighed  down  heavily,  but  their 
hearts  were  willing  and  their  bodies  sturdy.  When  they  came  into 
camp  and  turned  down  the  company  street,  there  was  a  pinched 
smile  on  their  faces  and  a  slight  limp  with  some,  but  they  were  all 
there  and  there  was  pride  in  that. 

''On  the  18th  and  ^rd  of  May  a  number  of  replacements  were  as- 
signed to  the  regiment  to  fill  in  the  gaps  made  by  transfers  and  the 
many  other  causes  of  army  leakage.  Most  of  its  men  were  draftees 
from  the  west  and  around  New  York.  As  the  long  column  filed  through 
the  officers'  dub  room  and  checked  in,  dirty  from  the  hot,  grimy 
journey  and  loaded  with  any  kind  of  a  holder  that  would  carry  their 
few  belongings,  it  was  an  unsoldierly  looking  caravan.  An  officer 
from  the  company  stood  by  and  picked  out  seventy  six  men,  judging 
the  soldier  by  looks,  build,  and  the  information  on  his  quidification 
card  as  to  his  previous  occupation. 

''At  last  news  came  that  the  division  was  under  orders.  A  great 
shout  went  up  and  then  a  quiet  feverish  energy  crept  over  the  company. 
The  mechanics  with  extra  details  were  put  to  work  making  boxes 
of  the  right  dimensions  to  be  lettered  in  a  certain  way  only,  so  that 
there  would  be  no  confusion  in  the  shipments.  The  weight,  cubic 
contents,  division  monogram,  and  the  A.  E.  F.  triangle  were  aU  in 
their  own  place.  Paper  work  to  the  last  detail  was  gotten  up  to  date; 
minute  passenger  lists  in  sixtuplicate  were  made  up;  barrack  bags 
were  packed,  weighed  at  75  pounds  per,  and  piled  up,  and  the  white 
patch  with  the  soldier's  name  sewn  on.  Tents  were  not  struck,  as  a 
new  division  was  coming  in  as  soon  as  the  S9th  cleared.  And  then 
on  June  9th  the  company,  loaded  into  day  coaches  on  the  Southern 
railroad,  began  that  eventful  journey,  which  was  to  cost  many  their 
young,  happy,  lives,  but  which  was  to  end  only  with  the  overturning 
of  Prussian  despotism.  In  the  hearts  of  some  was  a  solemn  joy,  in 
others  a  buoyant  hilarity,  but  who  dares  read  the  hearts  of  men 
except  by  the  outward  signf 

"  From  the  train  which  stuck  its  head  under  the  sheds  at  Jersey  City 
to  the  closely  guarded  dock  at  Hoboken,  was  but  "FoH  /n",  and 
''Squads  Right"  to  the  ferry  boat,  and  oflf  again.  The  men  knew  at 
last  that  their  training  in  the  states  had  come  to  an  end  and  they 
were  about  to  bid  farewell  to  every  family  tie  and  enter  the  lists  as 
modem  knights-errant.  It  wasn't  the  vague  call  of  Democracy  they 
were  answering  but  the  voice  of  their  beloved  Country  whispering 
in  their  hearts,  "I  need  you  to  protect  my  honour"!  The  grinding 
of  the  hob-nail  on  the  cobble-stones  was  steady  and  even  and  the 
pulse  of  the  men  above  was  strong  and  regular.  It  was  the  last  short 
bit  of  their  native  land  they  were  to  march  over  before  taking  up  the 
first  hike  toward  the  Rhine. 

"  At  the  big  covered  dock,  the  column  stood.  No  family,  no  sweet- 
hearts, wives  or  friends  were  there  to  press  their  last  loving  vision

upon  the  lonely  soldier. — ^Perhaps  it  was  best.  There  were  many 
spies  who  would  come  in  sheep's  clothing.  It  was  all  cold  business 
and  order  there.  A  single  column  was  formed  and  each  man  was 
checked  by  name  and  number  across  the  gangway  into  the  great 
dark  opening  in  the  side  of  the  S.  S.  Covington.  Once  aboard  all  hope 
of  gettmg  ashore  again  was  abandoned,  and  the  company  was  given 
its  assignment  in  the  aft  under  deck  of  the  ship  where  the  men  unslung 
their  equipment  and  commenced  to  make  themselves  comfortable 
for  the  voyage.  Strict  secrecy  was  kept  as  to  the  date  of  sailing  and 
the  transport's  destination.  Three  long  days  after  the  troops  were 
on  board,  the  Covington  lay  tied  up  to  her  pier  and  no  soldier  was 
allowed  to  go  ashore.  He  might  only  come  on  deck  and  look  at  the 
tall  jagged  outlines  of  New  York  City.  At  several  of  the  port  holes 
silent  figures  could  be  seen  gazing  wistfully  at  some  little  home  in 
Jersey :  Qieirs !  It  seemed  a  pity  their  longing  for  a  last  farewell  could 
not  be  gratified,  but  war  and  sentiment  cannot  conflict. 

''At  last  the  big  convoy  of  eight  staunch  ocean  liners  was  filled 
with  its  human  cargoes,  and  war  freight,  the  gang  plank  was  drawn  in, 
the  cables  loosed  and  the  monster  ship  slid  slowly  out  of  the  harbor 
and  quietly  steamed  out  to  the  ocean.  Others  of  the  fleet  followed 
her  in  trace,  with  the  swift  Leviathan  leading.  There  were  no 
bands,  no  whistles,  no  cheering  God-speeds,  but  with  measured 
cadence  the  Argosy  glided  by  the  battleships  and  the  camouflaged 
freighters  along  the  way  until  the  stately  Statue  of  Liberty  was 
passed  and  the  vast  open  waters  stretched  out  beyond.  The  men 
were  quiet  and  in  their  eyes  was  a  far  away  look,  for  they  knew  for 
many  there  could  be  no  return.  But  who,  if  he  had  the  chance  would 
timi  back.'*

CHAPTER  XII. 

SOME  LESSONS  LEARNED  IN  AMERICA. 


Before  following  the  fortunes  of  the  division  in  France  it 
might  be  well  to  record  some  of  the  lessons  which  the  preparation 
of  this  divisional  unit  taught,  in  order  that  in  future  wars  the 
moral  to  be  drawn  from  the  experience  of  the  29th  and  of  other 
divisions  may  not  be  forgotten. 

Probably  no  one  thing  affords  more  food  for  thought  to  the 
student  of  our  future  military  policy  than  a  study  of  the  classifi- 
cation of  the  officers  and  men  composing  the  29th  Division,  as 
shown  by  the  Special  Orders  of  the  division.  It  seems  incon- 
ceivable that  a  fighting  army  division  of  the  democratic  United 
States — a  division  organized  and  trained  during  the  period  of 
actual  hostilities  for  immediate  active  service —  could  find  room 
for  the  following  designations : 

a  Officers  and  Enlisted  Men  of  the  National  Guard; 
b  Officers  and  Enlisted  Men  of  the  National  Army; 
c  Officers  and  Enlisted  Men  of  the  Regular  Army; 
d  Officers  of  the  United  States  Reserve  Corps; 
e  Enlisted  Men  of  the  United  States  Army  Reserve; 
/  Enlisted  Men  of  the  National  Guard  Reserve. 

It  was  not  until  after  the  division  had  taken  its  place  at  the 
front  in  Alsace,  opposite  the  enemy,  that  orders  were  finally 
issued  which  did  away  with  the  many  different  classifications, 
and,  in  effect,  declared  that  the  Army  of  the  United  States  would 
be,  thenceforth,  the  United  States  Army,  and  that  only  one  form 
of  collar  insigm'a, — the  letters  "U.  S." — should  be  used.  Pre- 
viously, the  National  Guard  troops  had  worn  a  collar  ornament 
with  a  monogram  from  the  letters  "U.  S.  N.  G.,"  the  National 
Army  troops,  one  with  "U.  S.  N.  A.",  and  the  Regular  Army 
troops  one  with  "U.  S.".  After  this  change  was  made  all  officers 
when  promoted  were  given  temporary  commissions  in  the  United 
States  Army.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTYNINTH  DIVISION 

It  is  a  distinct  tribute  to  the  spirit  of  the  "Blue  and  Gray" 
Division,  to  the  adaptability  and  to  the  inherent  patriotism  of 
the  average  man  that  for  the  long  period  elapsing  before  uniformity 
prevailed,  all  jealousies,  all  differences  in  the  matter  of  appoint- 
ment and  qualification,  all  differences  in  insignia,  and  virtually  all 
other  differences,  fancied  or  real,  were  obliterated,  and  that  the 
officers  and  men,  regardless  of  how  they  were  commissioned  or 
whether  they  had  volunteered  or  had  been  drafted,  finally  became 
welded  into  one  unit. 

None  the  less,  the  fact  remains  that  the  superficial  prejudices 
of  a  few  near-sighted  and  narrow-minded  men  in  Washington 
played  fast  and  loose  with  matters  that  were  small  in  themselves 
yet  might  have  affected  vitally  the  morale  of  troops,  and,  aside 
from  any  question  of  homogeneity  of  thought  and  action, 
indubitably  operated  to  prevent  uniformity  in  the  issuing  of 
orders  and  keeping  of  records.  In  fact,  to  the  oflScer  or  soldier 
inducted  into  the  military  establishment  from  civil  life,  the 
amount  of  time  wasted  on  trivialities  during  the  early  days  of  the 
war  seemed  inexplicable.  No  business  man  could  fail  to  realize 
that,  in  the  army  as  in  industry  there  must  be  imiformity  in 
the  keeping  of  records  and  other  necessary  details;  but  just  why 
men  trained  to  think  every  day  in  the  terms  of  military  matters 
should  not  have  devised  more  practical  methods  for  the  payment 
of  troops  and  for  the  keeping  of  records  than  the  company  pay-roll 
ever  will  remain  a  mystery  to  the  civilian  mind. 

The  futility  in  time  of  war  of  attempting  to  maintain  military 
organizations  according  to  states  soon  became  evident.  But  with 
the  draft  law  in  operation  would  it  not  have  been  wise  to  have 
sent  drafted  men  from  the  localities  from  which  National  Guard 
units  had  volunteered  as  replacements  for  such  units?  Instead, 
from  time  to  time  there  arrived  a  great  number  of  drafted  men 
from  practically  every  section  of  the  country.  Granting  that 
there  might  not  have  been  enough  men  on  the  first  draft  to  have 
organized  properly  the  National  Army  Division  of  a  certain  state 
and  at  the  same  time  to  have  served  also  as  replacements  in  the 
National  Guard  Division,  the  principle  of  sending  replacements 
from  the  state  of  a  division's  original  enlistment  might  have  been 
applied  as  far  as  practicable.  This  not  only  would  have  resulted 
in  greater  efficiency,  but  also  would  have  caused  greater  satis- 
faction to  the  men  themselves. 

[58] 


SOME  LESSONS  LEARNED  IN  AMERICA 

Of  course,  the  impracticability  of  continuing  this  plan  of 
replacements  after  the  divisions  had  gone  overseas  readily  was 
apparent,  yet  what  was  impossible,  as  a  plan  of  replacement, 
under  battle  conditions,  was  entirely  practicable,  and,  we  think, 
should  have  been  adopted,  in  times  of  peace,  as  a  plan  of  organiza- 
tion. But  there  seemed  to  have  been  no  **head  to  things/* 
Everyone  wanted  to  be  doing  something  and  everyone,  possibly, 
did  his  best,  but  the  results  were  most  unfortunate:  one  day  a 
negro  organization  would  arrive,  and  a  few  days  later  it  would  be 
sent  home.  Orders  would  arrive  directing  changes  in  the  camp 
so  another  division  could  be  sent  in.  Thereupon,  troops  would 
be  rooted  up  and  moved,  and  then  all  orders  would  be  counter- 
manded and  all  the  men  would  be  moved  back  again.  One  day 
several  hundred  Reserve  Officers  would  report  for  duty,  and  before 
they  could  be  assigned  to  organizations,  received  notice  that  they 
had  the  choice  of  remaining  with  the  29th  or  of  going  to  the 
division  organized,  or  to  be  organized,  in  their  home  states.  And 
so  it  went  on. 

Responsibility  could  not  be  placed  easily.  For  example, 
the  writer  was  in  Washington  undergoing  instruction^at  the 
War  College  when  he  received  a  telegram  from  Major  Brabson, 
then  acting  Chief  of  StafiF  of  the  division,  directing  him' to  see 
why  some  training  materiel  had  not  been  sent  to  Camp  McClellan. 
The  writer  made  inquiries  and  could  not  find  anyone  who  would 
acknowledge  the  receipt  of  a  telegram  asking  for  the  materiel. 
Upon  request,  Major  Brabson  then  sent  a  copy  of  the  telegram. 
Whereupon,  the  writer  went  to  see  the  Training  Committee  of  the 
General  Staff,  at  the  War  College,  and  was  told  he  would  have  to 
see  the  Equipment  Committee.  He  then  went  to  the  Army  and 
Navy  Building  to  do  so.  Arriving  there  he  was  assured  that  a 
mistake  had  been  made  and  that  it  was  the  duty  of  the  Training 
Committee  to  attend  to  such  things.  He  patiently  returned  to 
the  War  College  and  was  informed  again  that  it  was  the  duty  of 
the  Equipment  Committee  to  take  up  such  matters.  Convinced 
of  the  futility  of  these  proceedings,  the  writer  insisted  that  the 
officer  with  whom  he  was  speaking  call  up  the  Equipment  Com- 
mittee and  definitely  determine  just  whose  duty  it  was  to  consider 
a  matter  of  this  kind.  As  a  result  of  this  conversation  the  responsi- 
bility definitely  was  placed  upon  the  last  named  committee,  and 
on  the  writer*s  return  to  the  Army  and  Navy  Building,  the  officer 

[59] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

who  first  "passed  the  buck",  finally  discussed  the  matter  and 
solemnly  concluded  that  he  could  do  nothing  in  the  premises,  but 
in  the  future  we  would  have  some  splendid  arrangements  for 
training  divisions.  He  incautiously  suggested  that  the  Ordnance 
Department  should  and  probably  could  furnish  the  desired 
materiel.  The  writer  persuaded  him  to  seek  out  that  department. 
There  again  failure  was  met,  but  a  clerk  was  finally  induced  to 
call  up  someone  who  gave  assurance  that  an  effort  would  be  made 
to  supply  us  these  things  and  that,  failing  in  the  effort,  an  allow- 
ance of  $500  might  be  made.  Two  weeks  later  every  division  was 
authorized  to  expend  $500  for  training  equipment — and  this  was 
in  November,  1917! 

We  have  touched  briefly  upon  the  breaking  up  of  the  old 
National  Guard  organizations.  What  a  pity  it  was  that  all  of  the 
old  regiments  could  not  have  been  kept  on  as  complete  units, 
and  given  a  U.  S.  numeral  in  the  place  of  their  State  designation ! 
If  then  their  oflBcers  could  have  been  placed  on  a  list  in  the  order 
of  the  date  of  their  commissions,  and  the  same  general  rule  of 
fitness  applied  to  all  alike,  whether  Regular,  National  Guard  or 
Reserve  oflScer,  the  unfit  could  have  been  promptly  eliminated 
without  being  made  to  feel  that  any  discrimination  had  been 
practiced.  This,  of  course,  would  have  put  a  great  many  tempor- 
ary oflScers  ahead  of  the  regular  oflScers.  But  suppose  it  had? 
If  every  colonel  on  the  list  brought  to  the  army  a  skeleton 
regiment,  and  if  he  was  potentially  able  to  command  a  regiment, 
no  harm  was  done  to  the  regular  oflScer;  on  the  contrary,  a  new 
unit  was  made  available  for  use  in  forming  a  division,  which  in 
turn  was  available  for  use  in  forming  a  corps,  and  so  on,  thus 
creating  new  units,  and  new  positions  which  must  be  filled  by 
trained  oflScers  of  wide  experience.  This  is  not  a  criticism  of  the 
regular  oflScer.  On  the  contrary,  the  failure  of  the  law  to  provide 
the  machinery  for  entirely  eliminating^  the  unfit  regular  oflScer, 
was  another  fatal  defect,  and  resulted  in  keeping  down  excellent 
oflScers  of  ability,  while  making  it  necessary  to  carry  much  dead 
weight  in  high  places.  When  the  suggestion  made  above  was 
discussed  always  it  was  met  with  the  statement  that  the  states 
would  never  have  consented  for  their  regiments  to  have  been 

'Regular  Officers  who  had  been  given  advanced  "war  grades"  and  who  Uter  were  found 
unfit  could  be  reduced  to  their  normal  grades.  This  was  done  without  hesitation 
in  the  29th  Division  as  necessity  arose. 

[60] 


SOME  LESSONS  LEARNED  IN  AMERICA 

drafted  bodily  into  the  army,  given  a  U.  S.  numeral,  and  their 
officers  placed  on  the  army  list.  Subsequent  events  would  seem 
to  have  disproved  conclusively  any  such  claim. 

It  cannot  be  doubted  that  the  desire  of  the  officers  of  the 
General  Staff  in  Washington  to  see  service  with  the  first  divisions 
to  go  to  France  was  responsible  for  many  of  the  troubles  and  the 
trials  of  the  divisions  formed  early  in  the  war.  Hardly  had  those 
officers  discussed  the  new  changes  in  the  tables  of  organizations, 
or  at  least,  long  before  they  tested  the  changes,  they  turned  the 
work  over  to  a  new  set  of  officers  and  themselves  were  scampering 
from  one  end  of  the  coimtry  to  the  other  to  join  the  newly-formed 
divisions  as  chiefs  of  staff  and  assistants  chief  of  staff.  This 
was  commendable  as  showing  a  desire  for  immediate  active  service, 
but  it  did  not  evidence  a  serious  grasp  of  the  situation.  The 
organization,  training,  equipment  and  the  tactical  handling  of 
large  units  demonstrated  conclusively  that  however  small  our 
standing  army  may  be  in  peace  times,  there  must  be  trained  a 
General  Staff  which  will  "stay  on  the  job**  and  function  auto- 
matically and  efficiently  whenever  the  country  goes  to  war. 

It  should  be  said,  and  must  be  said,  that  many  of  the  failures 
and  mistakes  noted  during  training  were  corrected  as  soon  as  the 
troops  arrived  in  France.  Why  then,  it  may  be  asked,  need  they 
be  mentioned  now?  Because,  in  the  natural  course  of  events,  the 
men  who  composed  our  armies  will  in  the  future,  in  part  at  least, 
form  our  legislative  bodies.  They  must  be  made  to  remember  these 
things  and  to  guard  against  their  recurrence.  Then,  too,  this 
suggestion  is  worth  while:  In  France,  there  was  built  up  practically 
a  new  War  Department.  If  it  functioned  better  than  the  old, 
why  not  adopt  the  plans  which  worked  in  time  of  battle — ^in  the 
field — ^instead  of  the  theories  which  had  not  worked,  even  in  times 
of  peace? 

In  conclusion,  the  lack  of  a  uniform  system  of  promotion  for 
the  officers  not  of  the  regular  service,  was  the  source  of  much 
unnecessary,  of  much  unintentional,  injustice,  and  of  much  hard- 
ship. Captains  and  even  lieutenants  commanded  battalions  in 
the  field;  majors  and  even  captains,  commanded  regiments.  But 
the  higher  commanders  in  the  field  had  no  authority  to  promote 
for  proven  merit  on  the  field  of  battle,  though  at  home  the  bureaus 
and  departments  were  literally  swarming  with  high-ranking 
officers.    Then,  too,  even  in  the  field,  the  promotion  of  a  worthy 

[61] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

and  capable  officer  too  frequently  was  dependent  upon  the  whim 
or  the  lack  of  interest  of  an  immediately  superior  officer. 

When  the  citizen  goes  to  war,  he  perforce  becomes  a  soldier, 
but  in  developing  new  characteristics  he  loses  none  of  his  old 
ones.  If  he  were  actually  or  potentially  successful  and  ambitious 
in  his  daily  vocation,  he  will  be  equally  so  in  his  new  profession 
of  arms.  The  regulations  should  give  as  nearly  as  may  be  an 
equality  of  opportunity  and  of  recognition,  that  each  man  may 
stand  or  fall,  be  promoted  or  be  "broken"  precisely  and  only  as 
he  deserves.

CHAPTER  Xm. 

PREPARATIONS    FOR   SAILING — ON  SHIPBOARD  WITH  COMPANY  K,     113tH 

INFANTRY — THE  TRIP  OVER  WITH  HEADQUARTERS 

COMPANY,  115tH  infantry. 


The  preparations  for  departure  varied  but  little  in  the 
several  units.  The  work  of  issuing  final  equipment  to  the  troops 
went  on  feverishly  day  and  night.  It  was  soon  accomplished, 
however,  and  after  a  few  days  at  the  port  the  men  found  them- 
selves aboard  the  transports  ready  to  sail  upon  the  Great  Adven- 
ture. The  historian  of  Company  K,  of  the  113th  Infantry*, 
thus  describes  typical  preparations  for  embarkation  and  some 
of  the  expjeriences  of  the  voyage  overseas: 

"Here  the  final  checking  up  of  equipment  and  clothing  was  under- 
taken. It  proved  a  very  strenuous  period  for  the  Quartermaster;  and 
with  the  issuance  of  clothing  was  connected  many  absurd  and  amus- 
ing procedures.  For  instance  one  morning  at  2:30  the  entire  Com- 
pany was  routed  out  to  receive  an  issue  of  shoe  laces! 

"The  Company  was  here  quartered  in  barracks,  and,  as  Camp 
McCIellan  was  a  tent  camp,  'twas  indeed  a  pleasing  novelty  to  the 
men  to  be  quartered  in  a  real  house  and  with  spring  cots  to  sleep 
upon.  But  owing  to  the  confusion  caused  by  the  preparation  for  the 
great  journey,  little  opportunity  was  allowed  for  enjoying  the  com- 
forts thus  afforded.  Bed  sacks  were  issued  and  ordered  filled  with 
straw.  This  was  done  and  that  night  the  men  enjoyed  the  softest, 
most  comfortable  beds  it  had  been  their  good  fortune  to  sleep  upon 
since  leaving  their  homes,  but,  sad  to  relate,  the  bedsacks  were  ordered 
emptied  the  following  day. 

"On  the  12th  of  June  packs  were  ordered  rolled  and  cots  torn  down. 
The  cots  were  stacked  in  one  comer  of  the  barracks,  while  all  squad 
rooms  were  thoroughly  cleaned  and  policed. 

"Great  stress  had  been  laid  upon  having  every  man's  hair  closely 
cropped;  thus  it  happened  that  each  day  and  far  into  the  night  the 
barbers  were  kept  constantly  at  work.  On  the  night  before  the 
departure  there  was  no  sleep  for  anyone,  and  just  as  the  first  streaks 
of  dawn  began  to  appear,  Thursday,  June  ISth,  the  company  was 
lined  up  in  the  order  that  it  would  board  the  ship,  and  the  final  check 
before  embarkation  was  taken.    Many  changes  in  the  Company's

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

roster  had  been  made  since  the  date  of  its  organization;  some  of  the 
original  members  had  been  discharged  from  the  service;  others  were 
transferred  to  diflPerent  divisions,  or  other  branches  of  the  service; 
while  many  promotions  and  reductions  had  been  made  in  the  ranks. 

**  After  a  hasty  breakfast  of  bread  and  jam  and  coffee,  the  company 
fell  in  with  packs — and  oh,  such  packs!  They  would  have  made  a 
mule  groan  in  dismay.  Each  and  every  pack  contained,  1  O.  D. 
blanket,  1  shelter  half,  with  pole  and  pins,  condiment  can,  bacon 
can,  two  suits  of  underwear,  1  pair  of  O.  D.  breeches,  1  O.  D.  shirt, 
four  pairs  of  socks,  1  slicker,  1  overcoat,  1  mess  kit,  1  entrenching 
tool,  and  toilet  articles  consisting  of  one  razor,  one  comb,  tooth  brush, 
soap,  talcum  powder,  and  towels,  besides  personal  effects,  such  as 
stationery,  cigarettes,  tobacco.  Red  Cross  sweaters,  etc.  It  was 
at  least  a  three  mile  hike  to  the  dock  and  by  the  time  the  outfit 
reached  there,  the  sun  was  high  in  the  heavens  and  scorching  hot. 
Every  man  was  perspiring  like  a  stoker  on  a  battleship,  and  panting 
like  a  lizard  from  the  great  exertion  of  the  rapid  march  to  the 
water.  In  a  park  near  the  dock,  in  the  city  of  Newport  News, 
they  rested  for  a  couple  of  hours.  While  here  they  were  served  with 
coffee  and  sandwiches  by  ladies  of  the  Red  Cross.  |The  outfit 
was  hustled  aboard  the  coast-wise  steamer  Norfolk  which 
conveyed  the  troops  out  into  the  harbor  where  the  transport  Princess 
Maioika  lay  at  anchor.  This  vessel  by  ttie  way  had  quite  an  interest- 
ing history.  It  was  built  by  the  German  Government  in  1910  and 
was  christened  the  Princess  Alice  in  honor  of  the  Kaiser's  eldest 
daughter.  Japan  upon  her  entrance  into  the  war  seized  the  vessel, 
while  she  lay  interned  in  one  of  her  ports,  renaming  it  the  Princess 
Maioika,  The  United  States  then  purchased  the  boat  from  the 
Japanese  or  rather  traded  the  vessel's  weight  in  steel  for  her. 

'*'Although  the  4,500  officers  and  men  of  the  29th  Division  which  the 
Princess  Maioika  was  to  convey  to  war-torn  France  were  all  aboard 
by  the  evening  of  the  13th  of  June,  the  vessel  did  not  leave  her 
moorings  until  the  morning  of  the  14th.  It  was  a  great  and  novel 
experience  for  these  "doughboys".  They  were  unaccustomed  to 
the  cramped  quarters  they  were  forced  to  occupy,  with  the  narrow 
canvas  bunks  swung  deep  down  in  the  bowels  of  the  ship.  As  a 
consequence  there  was  much  grumbling  and,  if  the  truth  be  known, 
not  a  little  cursing. 

"  Great  confusion  and  dissatisfaction  also  attended  the  first  meal  on 
board,  owing  to  the  lack  of  a  specified  system  of  procedure.  More 
than  4,000  hungry  men  were  crowding,  jostling  and  shouting  to  be 
served;  and  the  afternoon  of  the  first  day  aboard  was  well  spent 
ere  the  last  man  had  received  his  portion  of  rice,  bread  and  coffee. 

"  The  air  below  deck  was  suffocatingly  warm,  hence  it  was  with  scant 
good  grace  that  the  men  received  and  obeyed  the  order  to  go  below

at  sunset.   They  longed  to  remain  on  deck  and  enjoy  the  cool  breezes 
that  swept  landward  with  the  coming  of  evening. 

The  following  morning  no  one  was  allowed  on  deck  as  the  presence 
of  so  many  men  would  greatly  impede  the  preparations  for  sailing. 
At  eight  A.M.,  the  vessel  got  underway  and  two  hours  later  when  the 
men  were  allowed  on  deck  the  last  blue  line  of  the  shores  of  dearly 
beloved  old  America  was  slowly  fading  from  view. 

"Everyone  crowded  to  the  rail  or  clambered  on  the  forecastle  to  get 
a  last  view  of  their  native  land.  What  the  thoughts  of  each  individual 
were  as  he  stood  gazing  perhaps  for  the  last  time  back  upon  the  fast 
fading  outlines  of  his  beloved  land,  would  be  hard  to  define.  Perhaps 
he  was  thinking  of  home  and  loved  ones;  maybe  his  thoughts  were 
of  a  sweetheart  he  was  leaving  behind,  a  sweet  little  woman  witli 
limpid  eyes  of  blue,  who  had  promised  to  await  his  return.  Or  may 
be  the  vision  of  a  dear  old  silver  haired  mother  claimed  his  thoughts. 
Perhaps  he  remembered  his  childhood,  and  the  happy  days  when 
he  sat  upon  his  grandfather's  knee  and  listened  attentively  to 
tales  of  the  great  Civil  War.  But  be  that  as  it  may  his  new  surround- 
ings with  their  strange  sights  and  sounds  soon  claimed  his  attention 
and  he  turned  to  gaze  aloft  as  sailormen  mechanically  descended 
a  swaying  rope  ladder  from  the  dizzy  heights  of  the  crow's  nest, 
upon  the  mate's  sonorous  conmiand,  shouted  through  a  megaphone 
"relieve  the  man  in  the  lookout". 


« 


Like  the  formation  preserved  by  a  flock  of  wild  geese  in  flight,  the 
fleet  of  transports  hovered  about  the  Princess  McUoika  as  do  those 
birds  about  their  leader,  for  the  Mataika  was  the  flagship  of  the 
squadron.  And  on  the  left  and  right,  as  well  as  in  advance  and  to  the 
rear  of  the  fleet,  came  the  watch  dogs  of  the  sea  that  were  acting 
as  a  convoy  to  the  transports — ^handsome  cruisers  gliding  majestically 
along,  dashing  torpedo  boat  destroyers,  with  their  funnels  set  at  a 
haughty  angle,  and  tiny  submarine  destroyers  darting  hither  and 
thither  through  the  foaming  spray  like  a  school  of  flying  fish  at 
play;  while  overhead  like  keen  eyed  fish  hawks  circled  huge  hydro- 
planes, keeping  a  constant  lookout  for  the  Kaiser's  sharks  of  the  sea. 

"  After  the  first  day  on  board  a  new  plan  was  adopted  for  feeding  the 
men  that  eliminated  much  of  the  confusion  at  first  experienced. 
But  two  meals  per  day  were  served  and  each  company  had  a  separate 
specified  time  for  eating.  The  extensive  Mess  Hall  was  furnished 
with  long  tables  at  which  the  men  stood  while  they  ate,  for  there 
were  no  seats.  In  fact  they  ate  on  the  run.  Starting  in  on  the  head 
of  one  of  the  tables  they  were  invariably  at  the  foot,  at  the  opposite 
end  of  the  Mess  Hall,  by  the  time  they  had  completed  their  meal. 

"  The  sea  was  unusually  calm,  consequently  there  was  little  evidence 
of  sea-sickness  and  the  members  of  Company  K  came  to  the  con- 
clusion that  they  were  immune  to  that  dreaded  malady. 

[66] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

"The  first  day  out  was  an  uneventful  one — ^the  weather  was  delight- 
ful and  on  the  whole  the  men  were  in  a  very  happy  state  of  mind. 
They  lounged  about  the  decks  smoking  and  chatting,  or  spent  the 
time  in  reading  books  procured  from  the  ship's  library. 

''The  following  morning,  Sunday  June  16th,  was  ideal.  The  sun 
rose  above  the  liquid  horizon  like  a  great  golden  orange.  Far  away 
where  the  pale  blue  of  the  sky  dipped  to  meet  the  deeper  blue  of  the 
sea  thin  lines  of  smoke  stretched  like  dull  gray  ribbons  parallel 
with  the  horizon,  to  tell  of  the  presence  of  Uncle  Sam's  seadogs. 
So  calm  was  the  sea  that  it  seemed  almost  as  if  the  ship  was  plowing 
through  a  sea  of  glass  and  its  unruffled  surface  reflected  the  morning's 
sunlight  like  a  gigantic  mirror.  Such  harmony  of  the  elements 
seemed  entirely  foreign  to  so  much  as  even  a  suggestion  of  war  and 
strife.  But  suddenly  and  all  unexpectedly,  while  K  Company  was 
at  mess,  like  the  sudden  loosening  of  the  winds  from  the  Cave  of 
iEolus,  the  boat's  siren  began  its  unearthly  shrieking.  A  submarine 
had  been  sighted.  Almost  immediately  upon  rising  to  the  surface 
the  underwater  craft  sent  a  torpedo,  like  a  great  winged  monster  of 
doom,  toward  the  Princess  Matoika.  Closer  and  closer  came  this 
engine  of  death  leaving  in  its  wake  a  silvery  trail  to  tell  from  whence 
it  came.  But  fortunately  the  torpedo  fell  short  by  but  a  few  yards. 
Ere  the  U-boat  could  fire  another  shot  one  of  the  two  six  inch  guns 
mounted  on  the  Maioika*s  forward  deck,  sent  a  shell  after  the  sub- 
marine; and  the  second  shot  finished  the  career  of  the  underwater 
raider.  But  there  were  other  submarines  and  other  shots  were  fired. 
Submarine  chasers  and  torpedo  boat  destroyers  got  on  the  job, 
with  the  result  that  two  other  U-boats  met  their  Waterloo.  When 
the  alarm  was  given  K  Company  was  in  line  for  mess.  Although 
every  man  realized  full  well  the  meaning  of  the  sirens'  shrieking, 
many  hesitated  at  leaving  their  place  in  the  mess  line.  They 
apparently  feared  the  loss  of  a  meal  more  than  the  Kaiser's  "Hell 
Divers",  or  as  one  patriot  expressed  it — "To  hell  with  the  sub- 
marine; let's  eat!" 

With  Headquarters*  Company  of  the  115th. 

"  As  soon  as  the  three  mile  limit  was  passed  the  war  zone  was  entered, 
for  German  submarines  had  been  doing  their  dastardly  work  along 
the  coast.  Life  preserver  jackets  were  issued  to  all  the  men  and  can- 
teens had  to  be  carried  filled  with  water.  When  darkness  came  on 
every  port  hole  was  covered  and  no  lights  were  visible  from  without. 
No  smoking  could  be  indulged  in  on  deck,  for  even  a  glimmer  might 
betray  the  ship's  location  to  the  ever  vigilant  enemy.  Different 
units  were  assigned  to  the  different  compartments.  The  Head- 
quarters Company  was  bunked  between  two  decks  in  the  aft  portion 
of  the  boat.  Officers  went  on  guard  in  the  holds  and  were  on  duty

boats.  The  morning  of  the  16th  saw  five  more  transports  added  to 
the  convoy,  making  thirteen  in  all,  beside  the  battleship  Texcuf  and 
several  torpedo  boat  destroyers  accompanying  as  an  escort.  The 
weather  was  beautiful  and  the  placid  ocean  mirrored  the  turquoise 
sky  into  a  vast  blue  carpet.  Those  who  had  feared  the  ocean  soon 
came  to  love  it  and  would  gaze  for  hours  into  its  still  depths. 

"The  convoy  carrying  its  forty  odd  thousand  of  troops  across  to 
join  their  sorely  press^  allies  and  brothers  in  France  took  up  a 
formation  resembling  a  column  of  squads  with  a  distance  varying 
some  five  hundred  meters,  while  at  night  they  would  draw  closer 
together  as  if  for  companionship.  No  lights  could  be  seen  and  when 
darkness  closed  about  only  a  dark  outline  of  figures  could  be  made 
out  in  the  faint  moonlight  against  the  horizon.  A  straight  course 
could  not  be  followed,  but  a  zig-zag  path  was  taken  across  die  waters. 
This  was  done  to  throw  the  submarines  off  the  track  if  there  should 
be  any  lurking  about  in  stealthy  waiting. 

"In  the  fleet  were  the  S.  S.  George  Washington,  DeKalb,  Ryndam, 
Dante  Alighieri,  Pastores,  Finland^  WUhelmina^  Lenope,  Kroonland, 
Princess  MaioUca,  Vanbon  and  Czar.  On  account  of  her  speed  the 
Leviathan  soon  diisappeared  from  sight  and  raced  to  her  port  of 
destination,  where  she  docked  before  her  slower  sisters  were  half 
way  across.  The  troops  aboard  were  for  the  most  part  soldiers  of 
the  29th  Division,  but  on  the  Covington,  occupying  the  entire  forward 
part  of  her  space,  were  colored  draft  men  of  the  366th  Infantry. 
At  first  it  was  thought  there  might  be  some  friction  between  them 
and  the  soldiers  of  the  115th  Infantry.  But  these  negroes  were  for 
the  most  part  from  the  South,  good  humored  and  well  behaved,  and 
as  there  was  no  intermingling  everything  passed  off  happily.  A 
tactful  segregation  was  maintained  between  the  white  and  colored 
officers. 

"  Life>boat  and  abandon  ship  drill  were  held  each  day  until  the  ship 
if  she  were  struck  could  be  deserted  in  a  very  few  minutes.  At  a 
certain  hour  all  men  would  retire  below  and  at  a  given  bugle  signal 
they  would  rush  out  of  the  hatches  and  crowd  close  to  the  rail; 
each  deck  was  cleared  in  sequence  until  every  man  was  up  and  ready 
to  go  over  the  sides.  Life  belts  had  to  be  worn  at  all  times  and 
canteens  had  to  be  kept  filled. 

"One  quiet  sunny  day  the  siren  whistle  of  the  flagship,  the  George 
Washington,  gave  out  three  shrill  screams  which  were  answered  by 
the  others.  Every  man's  heart  stood  still,  then  all  rushed  below 
according  to  orders.  Nothing  happened  and  it  was  learned  that 
the  whisUes  were  being  tested.  But  the  men  said,  might  as  well 
kill  them  as  scare  them  to  death.  Once  in  a  while  one  of  the  ships 
would  drop  back  out  of  sight  on  the  horizon  and  no  one  knew  what 
had  happened  to  her,  but  the  next  morning  when  the  eager  count 

[67] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

was  made  she  had  caught  up  again  and  was  steaming  along  as  if 
nothing  has  happened.  Many  guesses  were  made  of  what  had  hap- 
pened but  none  was  ever  the  wiser.  When  mid-ocean  was  reached 
and  the  danger  of  submarines  became  less»  the  band  would  give 
concerts  on  the  lower  deck  and  the  men  would  gather  around  and 
climb  the  riggings  to  listen.  Boxing  matches  were  held,  and  many 
games  which  did  not  require  a  lot  of  room  for  operation, — this  included 
cards  and  dice.  On  Sunday,  religious  services  were  conducted  and 
the  chorus  of  hymns  floated  out  with  the  faint  strains  of  sacred  music 
and  died  in  the  distance. 

"The  sea  continued  calm;  every  precaution  for  safety  was  main- 
tained. The  ghastly,  blue  lights  below  were  all  that  illumined  the  pass- 
ages as  one  groped  around  for  his  space,  which  might  be  at  the  distant 
end  of  a  long  Ime  of  canvas  strung  on  iron  rods,  three  high,  and  one 
above  the  oUier.  All  during  the  nights,  when  only  the  dull  noises  of 
the  engines  and  the  soothing  swish  of  the  water  outside  lulled  the 
wakeful  could  be  heard  the  pipe  of  the  "bo's'n's"  whistle  and  the 
call,  "reUeve  the  watch  and  the  lookout", — ^while  the  soldiers  and 
sailors'  eyes  were  watching. 

"Just  at  dusk  one  afternoon  when  everyone  was  on  deck  taking  a 
last  smoke  before  the  lights  were  out,  the  siren  on  the  George  Wash- 
ington pierced  the  air  with  six  short  shrill  blasts  like  the  cry  of  a  wild, 
frightened  animal  and  then  her  big  stern  guns  opened  up.  Great 
fountains  of  white  water  shot  up  into  the  air  between  her  and  the 
Covington  as  the  shells  dug  in  for  their  prey.  Each  boat  picked  up 
the  call  and  the  sirens  all  about  were  screaming.  Every  gun  that 
could  be  trained  on  the  supposed  enemy  belched  forth  and  depth 
bombs  were  dropped  as  the  fleet  scattered  Uke  a  covey  of  flushed 
partridges.  First  the  men  rushed  to  the  rail  to  see  the  long-looked- 
for  submarine  but  prompt  orders  sent  them  below.  In  a  few  moments 
it  was  all  over  and  nothing  was  harmed^ — not  even  the  floating 
barrel  which  had  resembled  a  concealed  periscope  and  had  brought 
the  alarm  which  caused  many  hearts  to  stand  still  with  the  dread  of 
a  watery  grave. 

"The  porpoises  which  so  gracefully  and  swiftly  played  about  the 
boat,  the  small  flying  fish  that  darted  over  the  waves  and  Uie  lazy  whales 
that  pushed  their  backs  out  of  the  sea,  spouting  a  stream  of  water, 
giving  a  sight  and  disappearing,  were  a  constant  source  of  wonderment 
to  the  boys  unfamiliar  with  the  broad  waters.  Some  even  stayed  up 
late  at  night  to  hear  the  bark  of  the  hungry  dog  fish  which  the  sailors 
told  about.  As  the  convoy  neared  land  vigilance  was  renewed, 
watches  were  doubled  and  early  one  morning  fourteen  destroyers 
joined  the  fleet.  It  was  a  sign  that  the  journey  was  nearing  an  end. 
These  fleet  little  crafts  ran  in  and  out  like  so  many  fox  terriers  scent- 
ing rats  and  it  would  have  been  a  bold  submarine  to  show  its  nose 
above  the  water.   On  the  morning  of  the  27th  of  June,  in  a  wonderful

azure  sky  several  aeroplanes  appeared  like  huge  white  gulls,  and  at 
ten  o'clock  the  faint  distant  outlines  of  the  coast  could  be  seen. 
A  grateful  feeling  of  security  and  thankfulness  crept  into  the  hearts 
of  all.  At  least  they  weren't  to  be  drowned  like  rats  in  a  trap,  but 
would  have  a  manly  fighting  chance  for  their  lives.  The  Navy  had 
out  tricked  the  wily  Hun.  On  this  summer  afternoon  the  convoy 
quietly  filed  into  the  harbor  of  Brest  in  a  long  colunm.  Big  lighters 
were  brought  alongside,  and  the  troops  debarked  amid  the  strains 
of  martial  music.  At  last  after  weary  months  of  training  the  com- 
pany became  a  living  part  of  the  American  Expeditionary  Force 
and  none  knew  how  soon  he  would  be  called  upon  for  the  supreme 
test."

116th  Field  Hospitals,  sailed  on  the  Aquitania  from  New  York 
on  July  5th  and  made  Liverpool  seven  days  later.  The  104th 
Train  Headquarters  and  Military  Police  sailed  on  the  LouisviUe 
July  6th  and  debarked  at  Liverpool  on  the  17th.  This  completed 
the  movement  of  the  29th  Division  from  one  hemisphere  to 
another.  The  troops  sailed  from  four  different  ports  in  the 
United  States  and  landed  in  two  old  world  countries. 

Arriving  at  Brest,  the  men  stayed  at  Camp  Pontenazen  only 
a  brief  time.  Scarcely  had  they  gotten  back  their  land  legs  before 
orders  came  directing  the  division  to  move  to  the  training  area 
around  Prouthoy.  The  rapid  approach  of  the  Germans  toward 
Paris  necessitated  the  immediate  use  of  every  available  unit  of 
American  Troops.  The  division  must  be  equipped  for  immediate 
service  in  the  Unes  and  must  make  room  for  other  newly  arriving 
divisions  from  the  United  States. 

The  different  units  of  the  division  began  arriving  at  Champlitte 
on  July  3rd  and  4th.  In  a  few  days  the  division  was  reunited, 
except  for  the  Artillery  and  Ammunition  Train  which  were  to 
join  it  later.  For  the  first  time,  on  this  trip,  the  men  had  the 
actual  experience  of  riding  in  the  box  cars,  famous  by  reason  of 
the  legend  "40  hommes,  8  chevaux",  which  appeals  irresistibly  to 
the  average  American's  sense  of  humor.  For  the  first  time  also, 
the  men  were  billeted  instead  of  being  quartered  in  camps  or 
barracks  as  heretofore. 

To  observe  the  reactions  of  the  men  to  this  new  and  strange 
mode  of  travel  and  to  the  equally  novel  system  of  billeting,  it 
will  be  well  to  follow  the  fortimes  of  the  Headquarters  Company 
of  the  115th  Infantry  after  it  disembarked: 

[73] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

La  Belle  France. 

"  When  the  dock  was  reached  the  company  was  formed  and  marched 
out  to  Pontenazen  Barracks,  where  once  the  great  army  of  Napoleon 
had  camped.  Only  these  modem  warriors  did  not  go  to  the  barracks, 
but  were  carried  on  beyond  to  pitch  their  shelter  tents  under  the 
vast  canopy  of  the  spangled  sky.  The  French  children  lined  tiie  way 
and  mardied  along  with  the  troops,  begging  for  pennies,  or  else 
would  slip  into  the  colunm  and  attempt  to  sell  a  bottie  of  * vin  rouge' 
for  many  times  its  value  to  some  thirsty  soldier.  Here  and  there 
along  the  narrow  streets  up  the  winding  hill  small  groups  of  tots 
would  gather  and  sing  in  their  lisping  English  'Hail,  hail  the  gan's 
all  here,  what  the  'ell  do  we  care  now. '  A  pathetic  humor  was  in 
this  strain — at  last  we  had  come,  and  tired,  bleeding  France  had 
taken  new  heart. 

"The  twilight  was  long  and  at  eleven  o'clock,  when  all  'dog'  tents 
were  pitched  within  the  close  confines  of  two  mounded  fields,  taps 
had  long  since  sounded  and  it  seemed  scarcely  a  wink  to  reveiUe. 
Those  of  the  old  Border  veterans  who  had  known  the  sand  storms  of 
Texas  had  to  rub  the  grit  out  of  their  eyes,  shake  off  their  blankets 
and  look  through  the  clouds  of  dust  twice  to  assure  themselves  that 
they  hadn't  been,  by  some  queer  Fate,  transported  during  the  night 
to  Eagle  Pass.  The  kitchens  were  in  the  open  and  sand  became  a 
component  of  each  meal.  A  few  of  the  men  after  the  long  drought 
of  Camp  McClellan  tried  to  slacken  their  thirst,  and  one  or  two 
succeeded,  but  most  of  them  found  it  slow  progress  with  the  light 
wines,  and  those  who  located  beverages  with  more  kick  discovered 
also  that  the  brief  joy  didn't  assuage  the  certain  military  punishment. 

"The  neat  little  gardens,  enclosed  by  mounds  of  earth  for  fences, 
with  their  luscious  vegetables,  the  quaint  peasant  women  with  their 
rosy  cheeks,  white  caps,  black  frocks  and  wooden  shoes,  and  the 
solemn  'undertakerish'  looking  men  in  their  wide  brim  felt  hats 
with  streamers  were  a  source  of  wonderment  and  amusement  to 
the  men.  It  was  an  entirely  new  world  they  had  come  into  where 
everything  seemed  so  old  and  different.  The  church  in  a  nearby 
village  where  many  attended  service  on  Sunday  morning  was  built 
before  our  country  was  discovered.  Some  marvelled  how  this  could 
be,  and  others  wrote  home  telling  how  all  the  houses  were  built  of 
stone,  each  with  its  red  tile  roof  and  all  gathered  into  Uttle  villages. 

"But  there  was  only  a  moment's  pause  at  Brest  to  allow  the  men  to 
shake  off  their  sea-legs  before  the  big  jump  to  the  area  where  men 
were  struggling  for  the  mastery  of  the  world  and  the  endurance  of 
two  vastly  different  ideals.  At  6:30  in  the  afternoon  of  the  1st  of 
July  the  company  entrained  in  box  cars  for  Champlitte,  Haute 
Saone,  France,  forty  men  to  the  carriage  or  eight  horses, — and 
the  horses  had  been  the  last  passengers  to  ride!  The  officers  were 
also  eight  to  a  carriage,  but  it  was  a  first  class  compartment.    The 

[74] 


LA  BELLE  FRANCE 

men  were  packed  close  in  the  freight  cars  with  no  straw  on  the  floor. 
It  was  their  first  application  of  *c*esi  la  guerre* — that  ma^c  balsam 
that  was  to  soothe  overwrought  nerves,  weary  and  suffenng  bodies 
and  despairing  spirits  and  at  the  same  time  be  an  unanswerable 
excuse  for  mudi  that  might  have  been  avoided. 

**  The  company  mess  for  the  ride  consisted  of  bread  and  such  canned 
goods  as  were  issued  for  rations.  Now  and  then  a  stop  would  be 
nuide  at  some  little  station  where  coffee  had  been  prepared  ahead» 
and  it  mattered  not  whether  the  train  made  the  halt  at  1  a.m.  or 
1  P.M.,  the  men  would  roll  out  with  their  tin  cups  and  get  a  stimulat- 
ing draught.  These  pauses  on  the  way  gave  them  a  chance  to  get 
out  and  stretch  their  legs  and  smooth  out  the  kinks  made  by  Uie 
hard  board  floors.  The  French  trains  seemed  so  small  and  toylike 
that  it  was  a  difficult  matter  to  keep  the  men  from  getting  out  on 
the  rails  of  their '  side  door  Pullmans '.  All  along  the  way  the  French 
people  were  smiling  and  full  of  enthusiastic  welcome  as  they  waved 
theur  small  Stars  and  Stripes  and  called  *vive  rAmerique\  For  the 
first  time  the  company  caught  a  glimpse  of  enemy  prisoners  working 
on  road  construction  or  corralled  in  heavily  wiied,  stockade  camps 
and  they  gazed  with  interest  at  the  manner  of  man  they  were  soon 
to  meet  in  combat.  The  prisoners  looked  too  in  silent  awe  at  the 
great  tidal  wave  which  seemed  to  be  coming  over  in  ever  increasing 
force. 

'*Near  midnight  of  the  8rd  the  train  quietly  crept  into  Champlitte 
and  stopped  as  if  tired  after  its  slow  three  day  journey.  The  men 
with  all  equipment  slung,  marched  up  the  dark,  silent,  winding, 
cobbled  streets  of  the  small  French  village  which  was  to  be  their 
first  home  in  a  foreign  land,  one  for  whose  kindly  and  hospitable 
folk  they  ever  afterward  held  a  reverent  affection.  No  tents  now — 
the  company  was  split  up  into  small  groups  of  ten,  fifteen  or  twenty 
men  and  assigned  to  a  hay  loft  here,  a  cow  stable  there,  or,  possibly, 
to  an  abandoned  monastery  built  in  the  fourteenth  century  and  long 
ages  since  shorn  of  its  elegance.  Many  were  the  jokes  and  retorts 
made  while  the  men  learnt  the  mysteries  of  the  'billet* — and  these 
were  luxurious  to  some  they  were  to  know  later  on. 

**The  *  Glorious  Fourth'  was  spent  in  cleaning  up  and  resting  after 
the  long  cramped  train  ride  and  tnere  was  little  desire  for  celebrating. 
The  novelty  of  everything  appealed  to  the  men  and  it  wasn't  long 
before  they  were  chatting  and  making  signs  to  their  new  acquain- 
tances, neither  understanding  what  the  other  said,  but  a  waving  of 
hands,  a  shrug  of  the  shoulders,  a  smile  and  a  few  *comme  ca's' 
— ^the  open  sesame  to  an  unknown  tongue — ^produced  'beaucoup 
ceufs',  yin  rouge'  or  anything  necessaiy.  There  was  wine  in 
abundance  but  the  freedom  of  it  was  not  abused;  only  a  few  became 
'zig-zag'.  The  training  schedule  begun  at  once  and  was  most  inten- 
sive.   It  was  like  the  last  grooming  down  before  the  big  race.    The 

[75] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

marches  to  and  from  the  fields  were  made  at  attention.  Each  man 
somehow  felt  that  the  great  test  of  all  his  training  was  not  far  off 
and  he  went  to  his  work  with  a  serious  willingness.  Smartness  of 
appearance  and  an  accurate  observance  of  military  courtesy  was 
insisted  upon  and  responded  to  with  pride  by  the  men.  They 
gloried  in  being  good  soldiers  and  letting  their  new  friends  see  it." 

We  Acquire  a  Post  Office— A.  P.  0,  765. 

One  of  the  first  acquisitions  of  an  American  Division  upon  its 
landing  in  France  was  an  American  Post  OflSce  number  which  it 
retained  throughout  its  period  of  service.  Our  Post  Office, 
A.  P.  O.  765,  was  established  July  4,  1918,  at  Prauthoy,  Haute 
Mame,  France,  at  Division  Headquarters.  It  was  originally  in 
charge  of  1st  Lieutenant  Eugene  A.  McLaughlin,  Military  Police, 
assisted  by  five  men  who  had  served  in  the  post  office  at  Camp 
McClellan.  A  wheel-barrow  borrowed  from  a  Frenchman  was 
the  first  mail  wa^on,  and  was  used  to  transport  an  average  of 
three  sacks  of  mail  per  day  from  the  railroad  station  at  Prauthoy 
to  the  temporary  post  office.  Two  weeks  later  the  office  moved  to 
Valdoie,  near  Belfort,  and  a  few  days  later  followed  the  division 
into  line  in  the  Alsace  Sector,  establishing  itself  at  the  divisional 
rail  head  at  Fontaine,  with  2nd  Lieutenant  Byrl  B.  Bull  in  charge. 
The  mail  for  the  division  arrived  on  the  daily  ration  train,  and 
was  distributed  to  the  troops,  usually  by  transport  wagons,  along 
with  their  food,  or  by  special  courier.  On  September  12th, 
Lieutenant  Bull  was  relieved  and  1st  Lieutenant  Carl  M.  Voelker 
was  appointed  Divisional  Mail  Officer.  He  soon  installed  racks, 
cases,  and  other  equipment,  and  had  a  modem  up-to-date  post 
office  plant  in  full  operation. 

No  one  thing  contributed  more  to  the  morale  of  the  men  than 
the  quick  delivery  of  their  mail  from  home;  nor  on  the  other  hand, 
was  any  one  thing  so  depressing,  disorganizing  and  harmful  to 
discipline  and  destructive  of  happiness  as  the  failure  to  forward 
mail  regularly.  Of  course,  in  the  case  of  divisions  newly  arriving, 
some  time  must  needs  elapse  before  the  general  receipt  of  mail 
would  begin.  Besides,  the  necessities  of  the  service  which  caused 
the  rapid  move  of  troops  from  one  place  to  another  made  it 
extremely  difficult  to  deliver  mail  to  the  individuals  to  whom  it 
was  addressed.  It  was  therefore  a  source  of  much  pride  and 
gratification  to  the  members  of  the  Postal  Detachment,  and  no 
small  satisfaction  to  the  men  of  the  division,  that  even  during  the

greatest  battle  in  history  the  prompt  delivery  of  mail  to  the  regi- 
mental headquarters  of  the  first  line  troops  went  on  steadily. 

When  the  division  was  in  the  Mense-Argonne  Offensive  the 
post  office  was  established  in  Moulin  Brule.  On  the  morning 
the  division  jumped  off  in  that  battle — October  8th — mail  was 
sorted  in  the  open,  under  the  trees.  No  provision  had  been  made 
for  housing  the  office,  as  no  building  was  available.  On  the  follow- 
ing day,  however,  a  barrack  was  utilized.  After  twelve  days' 
stay  in  the  woods  of  Moulin  Brule,  the  post  office  moved  to 
Fromerville,  northwest  of  Verdun,  immediately  in  rear  of  the 
division.  Thence  mail  was  delivered  regularly  to  the  troops  in 
battle. 

Of  the  twelve  mail  orderlies  of  the  114th  Infantry,  one  was 
killed  and  eight  wounded  in  the  discharge  of  their  duties.  The 
service  was  costly  in  human  life,  but  it  delivered  mail  to  the  men 
virtually  up  to  the  hour  of  their  going  over  the  top. 

At  Christmas  time,  the  self-sacrificing  efforts  of  the  Postal 
Detachment  in  handling  the  heavy  holiday  mail  brought  untold 
happiness  to  thousands  of  men  when  over  twenty  thousand 
Christmas  packages  were  distributed  in  the  division.  A  money 
order  division  enabled  the  men  to  send  home  such  money  as  they 
were  able  to  save  from  their  meager  army  pay.

CHAPTER  XV. 

WITH  THE   ARTILLERY   FROM  MILLS  TO  MEUCON. 


The  story  of  the  travels  of  Battery  F,  110th  Field  Artillery, 
is  the  Odyssey  of  the  54th  Artillery  Brigade,  and  could  not  be 
more  delightfully  told  than  in  the  words  of  the  philosophic  author 
of  "Capt.  Boyd's  Battery,  A.  E.  F.",  One  cannot  add  a  word  to 
his  excellent  account  and  one  dares  not  change  a  word  or  a  letter, 
so  the  story  unfolds  as  it  was  written : 

**June  W,  1918. — Mills  is  a  large  casual  camp — ^very  large  and  de- 
lightfully casual.  Nobody  could  direct  us  to  our  camp  site,  so  we  saw 
the  greater  part  of  the  beauties  of  the  place  in  our  three  mile  search. 
Thousands  of  acres  of  pyramidal  tents  and  mess-shacks,  packed  so 
tightly  together  that  company  streets  were  hardly  more  than  aisles; 
doughboys,  engineers,  medics,  and  artillery  of  the  Regulars,  Guards 
and  N.  A.  side  by  side.  The  whole  place  in  only  fair  police,  nobody 
doing  anything,  uniform  regulations  not  enforced — ^leather, 
canvas  or  wrapped  'Putts',  campaign,  overseas  and  winter  hats — 
anything  went.  The  MP's  were  limited  service  men,  and  didn't 
seem  to  care.  And  nobody  wore  blouses!  'Pretty  soft,  I'd  say', 
whispered  Woodruff,  with  the  guile  of  an  old  soldier.  But  when  we 
did  discover  our  regimental  area  it  was  only  to  behold  the  1st 
Battalion,  arrived  a  day  ahead,  in  the  throes  of  a  lay-out  and  'careful 
check  of  equipment.' 

'How's  the  place?'  yelled  Box,  as  soon  as  they  fell  us  out. 

'Pretty!  Every  momin's  Saturday  morning,  every  afternoon 
too.  Lay  out  your  stuff,  son;  this  yere's  an  inspection  camp,  with 
24  hour  passes,  if  you  can  get  'em!' 

'"Gosh!'  said  Box,  'do  they  let  you  look  at  an  aeroplane  when  it 
flies  over?' 

"  Jwrw  22y  1918. — *  Must  'a  rained  last  night, '  commented  Dukehaw 
at  first  call  for  reveille.  Our  tent  was  a  little  lake,  in  which  shoes 
and  socks  floated  blithely.  After  breakfast  we  dug  mightily  to  turn 
the  flood  into  the  tents  on  the  next  street  and  then '  laid  out  our  stuff ' 
for  inspection.  All  unserviceable  equipment  is  to  be  replaced  in 
our  overseas  trousseau. 

"  June  27 f  1918. — ^In  the  morning  we  loaded  trucks,  singing  like  coons 
on  a  wharf,  and  in  the  afternoon  toted  barrack  bags  a  full  mile  to 
the  station.  At  five  we  formed  with  full  pack  and  marched  by  back 
roads  to  the  station.  Nobody  saw  us  off  except  Smitty's  people, 
who  had  somehow  got  by  the  guard,  and  an  aviator,  who  swooped

down  out  of  the  blue  and  skidded  by  overhead,  waving  so-long. 
The  old  red  guidon  stood  straight  out  in  the  slapping  breeze,  which 
brought  the  cool  of  the  sea  to  us  and  made  good  marching. 

"  On  the  train  and  out  of  the  station  in  good  order,  we  found  ourselves 
not  yet  quit  of  farewells.  There  is  something  Spartan  in  the  way 
America  insists  on  inflicting  itself  with  'last-moment'  farewells  to 
its  soldiers,  but  if  we  are  as  brave  in  battle  as  they  are  in  sending  us 
off,  it  will  be  a  case  of  'count  yoah  dead,  Mistah  Kaisah,'  as  the 
'separate*  artillery  sing  when  they  send  over  salvos. 

"The  train  took  us  back  to  the  same  terminal,  but  by  a  confusing 
route.  Somebody  started  a  hot  rumor  that  we  were  bound  for 
Halifax — ^he  had  it  straight,  but  couldn't  say  from  where.  To  most 
of  us,  Halifax  was  merely  somewhere  in  Nova  Scotia,  wherever  that 
was;  or  a  Sunday  School  substitute  for  Hell.  The  fellows  got  to 
chanting  'Groing  to  Halifax,  Going  to  Halifax,'  in  the  same  metre 
that  the  jitney  drivers  of  Anniston  used  to  sing  'Going  to  Town, 
Going  to  Town',  and  Halifax  had  many  adherents  among  the  rumor 
hounds  by  the  time  we  detrained. 

**  But  on  the  ferry  (beating  down  such  independent  efforts  as '  Camp 
Merritt,'  and  'we  get  right  off  here  on  to  the  transport,  down  the 
bay  a  ways'),  talk  of  Newport  News  upped  and  would  not  down. 
The  spectacle  of  New  York  harbor  at  nightfall  went  almost  unnoticed 
while  everybody  circulated,  buying  much  trash  to  eat  from  the 
vendors,  and  trying  to  find  out  what  everybody  else  knew,  I 
approached  Lt.  Baylis,  well  knowing  his  reputation  as  a  keen  judge 
of  the  rumor  market. 

'They're  betting  we're  going  to  Newport  News  now,  sir.' 
H-m-m !    Take  all  you  can  get !  * 


"  Extreme  reticence  in  professional  matters  is  the  mark  of  an  expert, 
and  the  results  of  my  interview,  quickly  noised  about,  soon  put  a 
stop  to  all  talk  of  Newport  News. 

"Nevertheless,  when  we  got  off  the  boat,  there  stood  a  train — one 
Pullman  for  the  officers,  several  baggage  cars  and  a  long  line  of  day 
coaches  with  water-barrels  on  the  platforms — evidently  for  us. 
Newport  News  out  of  the  running  left  any  place  in  the  U.  S.  A.  to 

1>ick  from,  and  the  results  were  too  numerous  to  chronicle.  We 
oaded  on  feeling  a  bit  flat;  we  had  expected  to  be  weeping  at  the 
last  sight  of  the  Statue  of  Liberty  by  this  time,  and  here  we  are 
trying  to  adjust  our  weary  bones  to  some  sort  of  slumberous  position 
in  a  dirty  day-coach,  still  somewhere  in  America. 

"  Midnight,  took  us  through  Philadelphia,  and  daybreak  to  the  edges 
of  Baltimore.  We  spent  littie  sentiment  on  the  sight;  they  had  fooled 
us  once,  and  for  all  we  knew,  might  keep  shifting  us  back  and  forth 
through  the  town  for  the  remainder  of  the  war.    After  we  had  closed 

[79] 


HISTORY  OF  TBE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

our  windows  for  the  Mount  Royal  tunnel,  few  bothered  to  open  them 
again.  After  passing  Camden  Station  without  stopping,  the  whole 
car  settled  back  for  another  nap.  It  looked  as  if  Lt.  Baylis  had  it 
wrong  for  once. 

"But  then  the  train  ground  to  a  slow  stop  in  the  outskirts  of  the 
yards;  then  were  switches  thrown,  signals  waved,  and  the  supreme 
strategy  of  the  Transport  Service  revealed  to  our  innocent  eyes! 
Slowly,  between  lines  of  empty  freight  cars  and  great,  bulking  factories 
and  elevators,  which  shut  off  light  and  the  sight  of  man  from  our 
track,  we  crept  down  to  Locust  Point,  and  stopped  a  bit  beyond  in 
an  enclosed  and  guarded  shipyard,  where,  at  Pier  8,  lay  the  S.  S. 
Keemurty  an  English  freighter  off  Pacific  routes,  old  and  worn  in  hard 
service,  but  gaudy  with  camouflage.  Ya-a-a-ay!  The  boat  at  last! 
and  at  our  very  front  door. 

"There  was  another  transport — ^the  Titan — ^at  the  neighboring 
docks,  and  another  troop  train  crept  in  and  unloaded  a  regiment  of 
doughboys  we  did  not  recognize.  We  marched  in  colunm  of  squads 
to  tihe  barred  gate  of  our  pier,  and,  flopping  on  our  packs,  made  a 
breakfast  of  such  stuff  as  we  had  saved  from  the  night  before.  I 
was  picked  for  detail  on  the  wharf,  to  separate  the  luggage  of  our 
officers  from  that  of  the  rest  of  the  regiment  when  the  stevedores 
hustled  it  by.  At  the  same  time,  two  embarkation  officers,  at  the 
mouth  of  a  narrow,  fenced  gang  plank  just  wide  enough  for  one  man 
at  a  time,  started  to  check  the  regiment,  man  by  man,  on  the  boat. 
Each  battery  was  arranged  so  that  in  doing  right-by-file  from  squad 
column  they  passed  the  inspecting  iofficer  in  a  single  line,  alphabeti- 
cally arranged.  The  Battery  Commander  and  Clerk  went  forward 
with  the  precious  'coffin'  containing  service  and  all  individual 
records,  also  in  alphabetical  order.  As  a  man  came  up  they  handed 
his  papers  to  the  embarkation  officer,  who  inspected  them  quickly, 
and  called  the  soldier's  surname.  'Alt!'  was  our  first.  'William  F.' 
he  answered,  according  to  instructions,  this  serving  as  a  sort  of 
check  and  countersign.  So  it  went,  about  ten  seconds  per  man, 
until  the  officer  called  'Wooden'  and  Wooden  yelled  'Franklin  C 
and  shot  up  the  gang  plank.    'F'  was  on! 

"Jti/y  i5, 1918, — ^We  sighted  land  at  sunrise  and  pretty  soon  were 
sailing  into  Liverpool  harbor.  The  great  pleasure  tower  on  '  Brighton 
Beach'  convinced  Dukehaw  that  it  was  one  and  the  same  wiUi  the 
Eiffel  Tower  and  he  had  little  trouble  in  convincing  several  others 
that  we  were  sailing  right  into  the  heart  of  Gay  Paree. 

"Around  breakfast  time  we  came  to  anchor  and  lay  until  dusk, 
awaiting  our  turn  to  be  pumped  up  to  the  level  of  England  in  Uie 
lock-docks.  There  was  nothing  much  to  do  except  to  watch  our 
packs  and  keep  out  of  the  way  of  the  crew  and  obey  or  otherwise 
dispose  of  the  inevitable  flock  of  'good  impression'  orders  which  kept 

180] 


WITH  THE  ARTILLERY  FROM  MILLS  TO  MEUCON 

coming  through.  We  were  not  to  crowd  the  forward  deck  in  docking; 
we  were  to  maintain  'a  neat  and  soldierly  appearance  at  all  times;' 
and  *  hold  ourselves  in  readiness  to  move  at  all  times '.  '  At  all  times ' 
seems  a  favorite  phrase  in  the  ranks  of  the  mighty  who  write  orders. 
*One  must  be  all  things  to  all  men  at  all  times  to  win  this  war'» 
said  Pappen. 

"The  courteous-demeanor  idea  took  a  jolt  when  we  drew  near  the 
lock.  A  regular  stage  Englishman,  minus  nothing  but  the  monocle, 
chanced  to  pick  up  the  Duke's  serious  visage  from  among  the  chin- 
strapped  sea  of  faces  crowding  the  rail. 

'* '  Hi  say,  ol'  chappy, '  he  chirped,  indicating  the  unfortunate  youth 
from  Frederick  with  a  twist  of  his  little  cane,  'Hi  say,  did  you  come 
ovah  on  the  BawlMcf* 

"  'Gawsh!'  moaned  the  Duke,  slipping  from  sight  in  order  to  save 
that  courteous  demeanor,  *  they 're  just  like  I  reckoned  they'd  be.' 

"  But  even  then  his  troubles  were  not  over.  After  we  had  debarked 
and  been  marched  across  town  and  put  on  a  train,  we  thought  it  might 
be  a  good  time  to  catch  a  little  sleep.  None  of  us  realized  what 
poor  shape  we  were  in  imtil  we  made  that  little  march  imder  packs, 
and  not  then  until  we  got  on  the  train,  away  from  the  crowds  and 
the  excitement.  Anyhow,  Duke  dozed  off.  A  nobby-looking  British 
non-comm.  came  down  the  compartments  giving  out  a  message  to 
American  troops  from  the  King.  It  was  m  facsimile  form  on  the 
Royal  stationery,  in  a  nice  envelope  and  everything.  The  bearer 
of  royal  greetings  reached  our  compartment. 

'''A  letter  from  'is  Majesty,  me  lads,' said  he,  dropping  the  first 
capital,  but  with  immense  respect. 

''Much  impressed  each  man  reached  over  and  received  his  little 
missive.    Duke  slumbered  on. 

"  *  Wake  the  lad  there,*  said  the  British  sergeant.  *Hi  say,  Yank* 
wake  up.    Here's  a  letter  from  'is  Majesty  for  you.' 

'"Damn  'is  Majesty',  said  the  Duke,  loudly  and  firmly. 

"  One  of  those  loud  silences  followed.  The  English  sergeant  almost 
passed  out,  but  was  quite  fair  about  it. 

'"  You  mustn't  say  that,  you  know,'  he  said.  '  Suppose  I  said  Damn 
President  Wilson;  what  then?' 

"  But  now  the  Duke  was  fully  awake,  and  on  his  courteous  demeanor. 
'Sure,'  he  said  amiably,  'Danm  'em  all,  damn  Woody  and  G€K)rge 
and  all  of  'em.  Here's  Woody  insists  I  go  in  the  army  and  I  oblige 
him  like  a  little  man,  and  now  I'm  over  here  all  the  darned  Kings  in 
Europe  keep  running  after  me  with  letters.  Tell  him  I  can't  come; 
I  gotta  go  win  the  war.' 

"The  sergeant  said  that  he  could  take  a  joke  as  well  as  any  other 
man,  provided  it  was  funny.  Soon  an  engine  came  and  got  us,  and 
now  we're  rushing  through  the  dark  for  God-Can-Guess-^ain.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

**July  16, 1918. — ^Two  constables  with  horses  and  equipment  in  fine 
shape  are  near  the  right  flank  of  our  battery  front.  Pappen  edges 
toward  them  and  tries  being  friendly.  These  are  the  first  horses 
he  has  seen  for  about  a  monUi,  and  the  first  constables  he  has  ever 
seen  with  bell-boy  caps  held  on  at  Hooligan  angles  by  chin  straps. 
He  strokes  the  nose  of  the  animal  nearest.  *A  well  treated  boss/ 
he  declares.    *A  good  one,  ain't  he?' 

''The  constable  is  pleased.  He  declares  at  some  length  that  no 
better  horse  exists.  We  can  understand  most  of  it.  The  animal 
takes  kindly  to  Pap's  petting  and  begins  to  nose  his  pockets.  'I'll 
bet  you've  been  giving  him  sugar',  says  Pap. 

"'Sugar!'  gasps  the  constable,  'Sugar  to  a  hawrse!  Wait  'til 
you've  been  in  this  country  a  while.    We  haven't  none  for  ourselves.' 

"  Fall  in!  The  band  opens  up  on '  Dixie  *.  Right  by  squads — march! 
We  swing  out  of  the  building. 

"  Now  the  band  is  playing '  Maryland. '  We  started  to  sing  it,  but 
they  gave  us  'At  Ease',  so  we're  carrying  the  tune  with  our  feet. 
It  is  steaming  hot  for  winter  clothing,  overcoats  and  hundred  pound 
packs  up-hill,  but  the  outfit  marched  better.  We're  almost  dancing 
up  these  cobblestones,  packs  and  all.  The  people  are  cheering,  that 
helps. 

"  The  streets  are  dirty  and  deserted  of  all  but  foot  traffic.  Evidently, 
this  is  a  mean  part  of  town,  but  the  people  are  mighty  kind.  The 
girls  are  pretty,  with  the  kind  of  apple-cheeks  you  read  about. 

"We  turn  a  comer  at  the  hilltop  and  go  down  grade.  A  group  of 
old  gentlemen  in  a  club  window  get  together  on  a  'Hip-Hip-Hurrah!' 
— ^The  'Hips*  being  soloed  by  a  whiskered  cheer-leader  and  the 
'hurrah',  chorused  by  the  crowd.    A  queer  effect,  but  touching. 

"  Farther  along.  A  fine-looking  old  man  calls  to  us, '  God  bless  you 
for  coming!  They  would  have  crushed  us  without  you.'  This  sounds 
written,  but  it's  word  for  word.  They  seem  to  talk  like  a  book,  the 
educated  ones. 

"But  most  of  the  people  just  yell  and  then  keep  repeating  'Good- 
bye'.  Good-bye!    Good-bye!    Good-bye!    The  kids  run  out  into  the 
.  street  and  take  you  by  the  hand  and  say  it.    People  on  the  sidewalks 
cry  it  out  and  those  in  windows,  all  along  the  line,  repeat  the  same 
thing.    Good-bye!    Good-bye!    Good-bye! 

"'This  good-bye  stuff  gets  my  goat;  don't  it  yours?'  said  Gill 
Boggs.    It  does. 

"The  head  of  the  column  is  going  right-by-twos  up  the  steps  of  a 
railroad  station.  'Somewhere  in  England  and  headed  Somewhere 
Else'  remarks  Paree.  'These  D-detail  Sergeants  have  all  the  dope', 
says  Cedey.

ON  FRENCH  TRAINS 

On  French  Trains. 

**Jidy  I89 1918. — *FaUinI*  The  non-comms.  draw  rations  for  their 
men — ^bright  red  cans  of  'monkey  meat',  smaller  cans  of  beans 
and  boxes  of  hard  tack.  They  load  us.  After  the  struggle  for  pre- 
ferred space  subsides,  we  discover  we  have  forty-seven  men  in  our 
car.  *A11  we  need  to  be  real  comfortable  is  those  8  chevaux,'  says 
Bacchus. 

*'The  men  who  made  a  rush  for  the  benches  are  offering  to  trade 
them  for  a  place  on  the  floor.  Finding  no  takers,  they  are  trying  to 
tear  them  out. 

''Woodruff,  I  and  four  others  are  packed  into  the  open  doorway, 
smoking  our  pipes,  swinging  our  feet,  and  watching  France  go  by. 
It's  wonderful  country;  where  there  are  no  houses  it  reminds  us  of 
the  night  we  passed  through  northern  Virginia.  But  the  towns  and 
chateaux  look  as  if  they've  been  here  for  centuries. 

"It  gets  too  dark  to  see  much  and  others  are  clamoring  to  stretch 
their  legs  out  the  door.  We  give  way,  go  inside,  dear  a  place  and 
compose  ourselves  for  slumber  over  the  flattest  wheel. 

"'I  don't  know  how  you  feel  about  it',  says  Woodruff.  'But  I'll 
fight  for  this  country  as  long  as  the  next  one.' 

**  July  19^  1918. — Next  evening.  There  is  no  joy  in  life.  Dirty,  with 
an  appetite  that  canned  Willy  can't  fix,  and  a  thirst  that  an  empty 
canteen  only  aggravates,  we  light  another  cigarette  and  cursing 
our  naughtiest  try  to  arrange  shifts  that  will  at  least  let  half  of  us 
lie  down  half  the  night. 

"'Get  your  rolls  on!'    The  word  comes  from  the  car  ahead. 

'"Where  do  you  get  that  stuff?'  we  yell  back  and  add  all  sorts  of 
things.  For  we  are  resigned  to  Italy  and  have  cursed  ourselves  into 
a  mental  condition  capable  of  withstanding  many  more  nights. 

"  But  being  assured  that  the  order  comes  directly  and  unsullied  from 
the  officers'  car  (with  cushioned  compartments),  we  give  thanks  to 
our  particular  gods  and  engage  in  combat  over  the  ownership  of 
property. 

"  The  train  stops.  We  tumble  off  and  form  in  battery  front.  '  Quel 
est  la  nom  de  cette  ville?'  asks  Loscin  of  a  genial  engineer  snipe 
hunting  our  ranks. 

Pwa-tee-ay,  m'sieu'. 

We  leave  the  yards  and  march  through  the  station.  There  it  is 
on  a  big  sign:  POITIERS. 
"'Oh!'  exclaims  Macfenton,  ^Par-tears!    I've  heard  of  it.' 

"Marching  out  of  Poitiers  by  moonlight,  the  band  sustains  its 
reputation  of  having  a  song  for  every  occasion  by  alternating 
between  the  chorus  of  'Good-bye  Broadway,  Hello  Prance!'  and 

[83] 


msfORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTB  DIVISION 

'Joan  of  Arc.'  People,  mainly  in  night-clothes,  hang  out  of  the

''When  you  stop  to  thmk  what  it  signifies;  this  dusty  column  in 
khaki  singing  down  medieval  streets  in  the  moonlight;  this  exchange 
of  cheers  and  ^reetinffs  in  the  century  cadenced  phrases  of  Mediter- 
ranean countries  and  the  super-slang  of  the  new  American  Army: 
when  you  consider  these  tlungs  and  the  Thing  that  binds  them 
together — ^well,  it's  big,  big  beyond  anything  in  history.  And  we 
are  human  atoms,  in  on  it.  The  American  soldier  in  France  knows 
what  it  means  to  feel  prouder  of  himself  than  he  ever  thought  he 
could, — and  humbler. 


"July  21 1 1918. — ^Billets:  A  chateau  for  the  officers  and  the  stable 
for  us.  But  what  a  stable!  It  is  big  and  airy  and  dean,  with  a  good 
sward  in  front  for  formations.  Great  trees  shade  it  and  trumpet 
vines  clamber  all  over  it  and  the  walls  around.  Our  crimson  guidon 
makes  a  great  splash  of  color  against  gray  walls  and  green  foliage

struck. 

"The  rest  of  our  division  has  gone  into  a  quiet  sector  in  Lorraine. 
It  is  said  that  they  have  materially  disturbed  the  quietude  of  the 
sector,  and  are  having  a  great  time.  We  now  have  one  decrepit 
'seventy-five,'  around  which  all  the  non-comms.  in  the  battalion 
crowd  for  instruction.  They  have  given  us  holidays  and  arranged 
field-days  and  hiked  us  and  gas-drilled  us,  but  the  same  Arcadian 
atmosphere  of  Vouille  which  once  charmed  us  now  makes  us  all  the 
more  restless.  We  have  weathered  some  beautiful  gang-grouches  in 
this  man's  army,  but  never  such  a  one  as  the  present. 

**Augiui  26 1 1918, — ^Left  Vouille  after  early  mess  this  morning  and 
marched  by  easy  stages  to  Neuville,  some  seven  miles.  All  of  Vouille 
was  out  to  see  us  off;  there  was  some  sniffling  on  the  sidelines; 
we  surely  made  friends  there.  Entrained  promptly  and  in  good 
order  at  Neuville,  eight  to  a  third  class  compartment. 

"It  is  said  that  we  are  bound  for  a  place  in  Brittany  to  train  at  a 
French  artillery  camp.  The  train  is  running  like  a  bat  out  of  hell; 
Connelly  claims  that  all  four  wheels  are  flat,  but  the  rest  of  us  can 
count  only  three.    It's  hard  to  tell  when  they  all  hit  at  once."

CHAPTER  XVI. 

WE  MOVE  TOWABD  THE  FRONT,  AND  GO  INTO  LINE  WITH  THE  FRSNCH- 
IN  ALSACE:      FIRST  SIGHT  OF  NO  IfAN's  LAND —  TO  THE 
TRENCHES  WITH  THE  IIStH  INFANTRY. 


On  July  16th,  1918,  at  2:30  p.m..  Field  Order  No.  1  wm  issued. 
This  directed  the  move  of  the  division  to  another  area»  entrain- 
ment  for  which  was  to  begin  on  the  17th.  In  this  order  the  French 
method  of  writing  the  hour  was  employed  for  the  first  time 
alongside  the  American  or  English  method,  in  order  to  familiarize 
officers  and  men  with  it.  The  French  method  was  most  suitable 
for  use  in  orders  and  for  raifroad  work  as  it  obviated  the  danger 
of  confusion  between  the  a.m.  and  the  p.m.  hours.  Thus,  for 
example,  10:15  p.m.  was  written  22:15  o'clock. 

Division  Headquarters  closed  at  Prouthoy  at  10:15  a.m.  on 
July  18th  and  opened  the  same  day  at  Valdoie,  a  small  town  near 
the  city  of  Belfort.  This  might  be  called  the  first  move  of  the 
division  and  was  not  accomplished  without  a  good  many  hardships 
and  long  marches.  Some  of  these  seemingly  might  have  been 
avoided,  but  were  due  in  a  large  measure  to  the  fact  that  the  staflF 
of  the  division  had  not  been  completed,  and  to  the  further  fact 
that  only  a  small  part  of  the  motor  and  animal  drawn  transporta- 
tion assigned  to  the  division  had  arrived.  However,  the  straggling 
which  took  place  and  the  hardships  suffered  by  the  troops  proved 
a  very  valuable  lesson.  The  division  which  four  months  later 
made  rapid  and  skilful  changes  of  stations,  during  actual  battle, 
under  the  most  adverse  conditions,  would  hardly  have  been 
recognized  as  the  same  division  that  had  made  the  ragged  move 
from  Prouthoy  to  the  Belfort  area. 

The  area  into  which  we  had  moved  was  a  so-called  "quiet" 
sector  at  the  southeastern  end  of  the  long  battle  line  which 
stretched  from  Switzerland  to  the  North  Sea,  and  was  that  part 
which  first  had  been  penetrated  by  detachments  of  Uhlans  in 
the  early  days  of  the  war;  in  fact,  units  of  the  division  were  later 
stationed  in  the  little  village  which  on  the  Sunday  preceding  the 
war  first  was  invaded  by  the  Germans,  and  in  which  the  first 
French  soldiers  were  killed. 

[85] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Billeted  to  the  northeast  of  Belfort,  the  division  received 
the  finishing  touches  of  its  training  within  the  sound  of  the  enemy's 
guns.  Special  attention  was  given  to  gas  tactics,  and  the  men  were 
made  ready  as  rapidly  as  possible  for  the  front  line  service  to 
which  they  were  so  soon  to  be  called. 

The  32nd  United  States  Division  had  been  occupying  a  sector 
on  this  front  for  sometime,  and  now  having  completed  its  pre- 
liminary training  was  under  orders  to  leave  for  the  more  active 
sectors.  The  arrival  of  our  division  released  the  S2nd  for  other 
duty.  Reports  soon  came  of  the  splendid  name  it  was  making  for 
itself. 

It  was  the  custom  of  both  the  French  and  German  armies  to 
hold  this  section  of  the  front  either  with  divisions  made  up  of  new 
troops,  needing  training  in  trench  warfare,  or  with  troops  which 
had  been  for  a  long  time  in  battle,  and  which  were  withdrawn 
and  sent  to  this  sector  for  comparative  rest  and  for  replacements. 
In  accordance  with  this  policy  of  the  French  and  American  high 
conmiands,  the  new  American  divisions  were  generally  sent  into 
this  general  section  of  the  line,  especially  as  it  was  contemplated 
that  the  great  American  Army  when  organized  would  have  for 
its  theatre  of  operations  the  territory  of  Alsace  and  of  Lorraine. 
It  was  determined  in  further  accord  with  the  allied  policy,  that 
the  29th  Division  should  go  into  line  in  small  units  along  side  of 
French  units  of  similar  size.  Both  the  American  and  French 
units  for  the  time  were  under  the  conunand  of  the  senior  oflScer  of 
the  French  troops  then  occupying  the  sector  in  which  the  Ameri- 
can units  were  sent.  Inasmuch  as  an  American  division  was  about 
as  large  as  two  French  divisions,  the  29th  Division  first  was  directed 
to  take  up  the  positions  known  as  the  Defensive  Sector  of  Haute 
Alsace  then  held  by  the  151st  and  the  53rd  French  Divisions.  Field 
Order  No.  2  was  issued  on  July  24th  and  regulated  the  movement 
of  the  division  into  the  line  with  the  French  divisions  named.  The 
Commanding  General  of  the  29th  Division  moved  to  the  small 
village  of  Boron  and  established  his  Command  Post  along  side  of 
that  of  General  BiSsse,  of  the  151st  French  Division,  who  exercised 
command  over  that  part  of  the  sector.  The  Headquarters  of 
both  divisions  were  at  Grand-Villars,  some  ten  kilometers  in  the 
rear. 

It  was  customary  when  a  division  advanced  into  line  either  in 
sector  or  in  battle  for  the  division  commander  to  establish  his 

[86] 


WE  MOVE  TOWARD  THE  FRONT 

Post  of  Command,  usually  referred  to  as  the  "P.C.",  as  near  the 
front  as  the  tactical  situation  and  the  proper  functioning  of  his 
staff  would  permit.  The  Headquarters  proper,  which  consisted 
of  the  Administrative  Staff,  was  generally  established  farther 
in  the  rear,  where  better  accommodations  and  more  undisturbed 
quarters  enabled  the  administrative  work  of  the  division  to  be 
carried  on  with  greater  eflSiciency. 

With  the  commanding  general,  at  his  P.  C,  were  the  Chief  of 
Staff  and  the  three  Assistants  Chief  of  Staff— G-1,  G-2  and  G-8, 
the  Division  Machine  Gun  Officer,  the  Division  Signal  Officer,  the 
Division  Engineer  Officer,  or  his  representative,  a  representative 
of  the  Medical  Department,  and  the  general's  personal  aides. 

The  division  headquarters,  under  the  immediate  supervision 
of  the  Division  Adjutant,  had  with  it  the  Division  Personnel 
Adjutant,  to  whose  work  credit  is  due  for  the  remarkably  accurate 
records  which  among  other  things  distinguished  this  war  from 
other  wars,  the  Division  Surgeon,  the  Division  Inspector,  the 
Division  Judge  Advocate,  the  Division  Sanitary  Inspector, 
the  Quartermaster  (who  was,  in  fact,  usually  stationed  at  the  rail 
head),  the  Division  Veterinarian,  the  Division  Dental  Surgeon, 
and  the  other  officers  of  the  division  staff  who  were  not  with  the 
general  at  his  P.  C. 

The  Commanding  General  of  the  57th  Infantry  Brigade, 
General  Barber,  and  staff  were  located  at  Suarce  beside  the  Divi- 
sional Infantry  of  the  151st  French  Division,  while  the  Command- 
ing General  of  the  58th  Infantry  Brigade,  General  Bandholtz, 
and  staff,  were  at  La  Chapelle-sous-Rougemont,  adjoining  the 
Divisional  Infantry  of  the  63rd  French  Division.  The  57th 
Infantry  Brigade  was  ordered  into  the  sector  "Boron"  and  the 
58th  Infantry  Brigade  into  the  sector  "Rougemont".  The 
infantry  regimental  commanders  of  the  division  were  installed 
besides  colonels  of  the  French  regiments  as  follows : 

Colonel  Harry  C.  Jones,  113th  Infantry,  at  St.  Ulrich  with  the 

Colonel  of  the  410th  French  Infantry; 
Colonel  Thomas  D.  Landon,  114th  Infantry,  at  Manspach,  with  the 

Colonel  of  the  407th  Fi^nch  Infantry; 
Colonel  Milton  A.  Reckord,  115th  Infantry,  at  Brechaumont,  with 

the  Colonel  of  the  319th  French  Infantry; 
Colonel  Hansford  L.  Threlkeld,  116th  Infantry,  at  La  Chapelle-sous- 

Rougemont,  with  the  Colonel  of  the  205th  French  Infantry. 

[87] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Each  infantry  regiment  was  directed  to  occupy  its  sector  with 
two  battalions  in  the  first  position,  each  forming  a  center  of 
resistance,  first  amalgamated  with  a  French  battalion,  and  later 
alone.  The  remaining  battalion  of  each  regiment  was  stationed 
in  the  position  of  resistance  for  the  purpose  of  receiving  instruc- 
tion. Machine  Gun  Companies  were  attached  to  each  battalion 
of  infantry. 

Thus  was  planned  the  first  entry  of  the  29th  Division  into 
the  line  along  side  of  and  with  our  seasoned  allies,  the  French,  who 
were  to  help  put  on  the  finishing  touches  in  the  art  of  trench 
warfare. 

The  move  into  the  line  was  begun  on  the  night  of  July  25-26, 
and  on  July  26th  reconnaissance  of  the  centers  of  resistance  of  the 
first  position  was  ordered  made  by  the  oflBicers  and  non-commis- 
sioned officers  of  the  units  to  occupy  those  positions. 

Field  Order  No.  3  directed  the  movement  of  the  104th 
Engineers  and  the  110th  (Divisional)  Machine  Gun  Battalion 
into  the  sector  for  instruction  by  corresponding  French  units. 
The  same  day,  the  Headquarters  and  Supply  Companies  of  the 
several  regiments  and  the  various  sanitary  units  were  moved 
forward.  Field  Order  No.  5,  issued  on  July  26th,  directed  the 
movement  into  the  sector  of  the  113th,  114th,  115th  and  116th 
Ambulance  Companies. 

In  Alsace. 

The  various  units  of  the  division  entered  the  lines  under 
practically  the  same  circumstances.  The  following  extracts  from 
the  diary  of  Major  H.  L.  Opie,  of  the  Third  Battalion,  116th 
Infantry,  are  illustrative  of  the  experiences  and  observations  of 
the  average  battalion  commander: 

"At  Versemont,  the  Virginians  got  their  first  view  of  hostile  aircraft, 
and  incidentally  their  first  shower  of  missiles  from  the  air — ^but  these 
latter  came  from  the  "Archies"  fired  at  the  plane.  On  approaching 
the  zone  of  the  front,  orders  for  the  'gas  alert'  and  night  marching 
and  concealment  from  the  enemy  air  scouts  had  been  received,  but 
it  was  not  until  early  morning  of  July  20th  that  an  enemy  plane  was 
actually  sighted.  Reveille  had  sounded  and  sleepy  eyed  doughboys 
were  debouching  from  their  billets  for  the  morning  check  roll,  when 
a  number  of  sharp  explosions  high  in  the  air  greeted  their  ears. 
Following  the  direction  of  the  sounds  with  the  eye,  little  feathery 
puff-balls  of  white  smoke  could  be  seen,  many  thousands  of  feet 
heavenward.    Few  knew  the  significance  of  these  until  they  saw 

[88]

others  flash  into  existence  and  gradually  disappear,  and  heard  the 
cry  from  women  and  children:  'Le  Boche!  Le  Boche!'  So  high  up 
was  the  enemy  scout  that  he  was  located  with  difficulty,  and  as  the 
light  caught  the  bottom  of  his  fuselage,  he  looked  like  a  big  tin  can, 
floating  in  space.  The  air  barrage  did  nothing  moie  than  make  him 
keep  his  distance,  but  it  gave  the  men  their  first  real  thrill  since 
landing  in  France,  and  bespoke  others  soon  to  come. 

''On  July  ^th,  the  brigade  conunander  visited  battalion  head- 
quarters and  informed  the  battalion  commander  that  his  unit  had 
been  selected  as  the  first  in  the  regiment  for  a  tour  in  the  trenches. 
Marching  orders  were  received  late  in  the  afternoon,  to  proceed  to 
Rougemont,  in  Alsace,  lay  up  the  next  day,  and  await  further  orders. 
The  battalion  reached  Rougemont  without  event,  other  than  frequent 
stopping  by  French  sentries  at  bridges,  villages  and  cross  roads, 
but  after  some  argument  and  the  calling  of  a  sous-officier,  the  column 
was  always  allowed  to  proceed,  though  lacking  the  password,  or 
formal  French  order. 

"Orders  arrived  promptly  at  Rougemont  to  proceed  to  Guewen- 
heim.  The  troops  were  already  in  the  beautiful  Vosges  coun- 
try, which  looked  for  all  the  world  like  a  gargantuan  chromo.  The 
only  indication  that  they  were  in  the  'Zone  of  the  Front*  was  the 
frequent  signs  in  French:  'Gas  Alerte!'  'Route  en  cas  d'alarm!* 
'Cave  d'abri!'  and  camouflaged  artillery  emplacements.  None  of 
the  orders  gave  any  indication  of  the  conditions  at  the  destination, 
and  it  was  thought  that  each  new  march  would  bring  up  at  the  actual 
front.  Movements  were  now  conducted  with  the  utmost  secrecy 
and  quiet,  and  the  men  were  not  even  allowed  to  smoke  as  they 
marched. 

"  Something  after  midnight  of  the  S6th  found  the  head  of  the  column 
at  Guewenheim.  A  sleepy  Town  Major  with  the  battalion  billeting 
party,  which  had  gone  ahead,  impressed  the  new  arrivals  with  the 
necessity  for  quiet  and  caution,  and  the  battalion  was  put  away  in 
such  billets  as  were  available.  There  was  not  a  mount  in  the  outfit, 
and  all  hands  were  pretty  well  worn  out  after  their  twenty  kilometer 
hike  under  full  pack,  so  little  thought  was  given  to  the  situation 
until  morning,  when  it  was  found  that  they  were  actually  in  a  shell 
torn  village  of  Alsace,  which  was  serving  as  the  P.  C.  (command 
post)  of  a  French  major. 

"The  commander  of  the  Virginia  battalion  reported  under  orders  to 
Major  J.  Guichert,  205th  French  battalion,  and  was  courteously 
received.  Though  they  had  no  interpreter,  and  neither  could  speak 
the  other's  language,  the  information  was  imparted  with  considerable 
delay  and  diflSculty  that  the  sector  was  a  quiet  one,  designated  by 
the  French  as  a  'rest'  sector,  that  it  was  known  officially  as  the 
'C.  R.  DoUer'  (Center  of  Resistance  DoUer),  and  that  it  was  directly 

[89] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

opposite  Mulhouse  which  was  in  enemy  hands.  Two  small  French 
infantry  companies  and  a  machine  gun  company  then  occupied 
the  trenches,  with  one  company  in  reserve  at  battalion  headquarters. 

"Guewenheim  was  still  inhabited  by  a  nondescript  population, 
speaking  a  mongrel  tongue,  more  German  than  French,  but  many 
of  the  houses,  especially  on  the  outskirts,  had  been  wrecked  or 
partially  demolished  by  shell  fire,  and  a  shell  had  struck  a  stable  and 
killed  a  number  of  horses  just  before  the  arrival  of  the  Virginians. 
Boche  planes  were  continually  scouting  overhead,  and  it  was  very 
necessary  that  information  of  the  arrival  of  fresh  troops  be  kept 
from  the  enemy.  Bedraggled  camouflage  screens,  whicn  had  seen 
long  usage,  gave  some  concealment  along  the  roads  and  streets, 
especially  from  an  enemy  drachen  which  hovered  along  the  front  as 
soon  as  the  morning  mists  cleared  away. 

First  Sight  of  No  Man's  Land, 

"July  28th,  Companies  I  and  K  under  conmiand  of  Captain  Robert 
Y.  Conrad  and  First  Lieutenant  A.  H.  Stone,  respectively,  were  sent 
into  the  front  line  trenches,  and  Companies  L  and  M  were  held  in 
reserve  at  the  battalion  P.  C.  under  First  Lieutenant  R.  Chester 
McGhee  and  First  Lieutenant  £.  M.  Howe.  These  companies, 
however,  were  not  the  first  of  the  regiment  in  the  trenches,  as  it 
was  learned  the  original  order  had  been  changed,  and  two  companies 
of  the  Second  Battalion  had  entered  the  front  line  of  Soppe  le  Bas, 
the  adjoining  sector,  on  the  previous  day. 

"Most  of  this  country  was  well  wooded  and,  as  the  lines  were  far 
apart,  offered  fine  shelter  for  company  command  posts,  combat  groups 
and  communication  trenches.  The  only  excitement  was  furnished  by 
occasional  enemy  shelling,  long  distance  machine  gun  fire,  night 
patrols,  enemy  planes,  and  balloons,  and  the  eerie  feeling  that  the 
enemy  might  be  staging  a  raid  at  any  moment  under  cover  of  dark- 
ness. 

"  On  August  3rd,  L  and  M  Companies  relieved  I  and  K  in  the  front 
lines,  and  took  up  the  training  routine  under  several  French  officers 
and  under  officers,  who  had  served  also  with  the  first  two  companies. 
French  soldiers  of  all  ranks  were  of  invaluable  assistance,  and  gave 
freely  of  their  veteran  experience  in  war  as  far  as  the  limitations  of 
language  would  permit.  The  soldiers  of  the  olive  drab  and  the 
horizon  blue  were  truly  brothers  in  arms. 

"  While  in  this  sector,  the  men  of  the  battalion  were  treated  to  their 
first  sight  of  an  air  battle,  and  also  saw  their  first  enemy  war  balloon 
brought  down  in  flames.  The  French  conmiander  announced  the 
arrival  of  a  new  air  squadron  on  August  7th,  and  declared  that  it 
would  destroy  the  enemy  drachen  hovering  over  Mulhouse  the  next 
morning.    The  drachen  made  its  usual  ascent  at  7  a.m.,  and  shortly 

[90] 


FIRST  SIGHT  OF  NO  MAN'S  LAND 

afterwards  it  was  set  upon  by  three  French  planes  and  destroyed. 
The  following  morning  another  took  its  place,  and  it  was  also  promptly 
destroyed.    This  one  was  not  replaced. 

"The  battalion  was  relieved  of  front  line  duty  on  August  11th, 
and  marched  to  St.  Cosme  and  Reppe,  the  latter  place  being  head- 
quarters of  the  regiment.  It  had  had  its  first  'baptism  of  fire' 
and  invaluable  trench,  patrol  and  scouting  experience  under  the 
nerve  tension  of  battle,  without  the  loss  of  a  single  man.  This 
was  war  de  luxe.  It  had  its  advantages  and  its  disadvantages. 
While  it  gave  the  individual  soldier  the  exalted  morale  so  valued 
by  all  military  leaders,  it  also  inclined  to  give  him  a  careless  disregard 
for  the  future  and  a  contempt  for  enemy  power  that  often  induced 
him  to  take  unnecessary  chances. 

"Reppe  and  St.  Cosme  were  both  in  range  of  the  enemy  'heavies* 
and  open  to  air  bombardment,  but  the  Hun  showed  no  inclination 
to  bombard  the  inhabited  Alsatian  villages  unnecessarily,  mainly 
because  this  had  been  German  territory  and,  expecting  to  get  it  back, 
he  wanted  it  as  little  damaged  as  possible.  So  the  artillery  and  the 
planes  devoted  their  entire  attention  to  troop  movements,  railheads, 
depots  and  gun  positions. 

"The  terrain  in  the  vicinty  of  St.  Cosme  offered  very  good  facilities 
for  training  a  battalion  or  even  a  regiment  for  open  warfare,  and  the 
next  two  weeks  after  its  arrival  were  devoted  by  the  Third  Battalion 
to  every  phase  of  open  fighting  in  the  war  game.  This  period  and  a 
week  in  early  September  presented  the  only  opportunities  the  organi- 
zation ever  had  for  deployment  as  an  individual  combat  unit,  or 
for  problems  in  attack  as  provided  in  the  new  tactics  laid  down  in 
the  instructions  from  G.  H.  Q.  for  open  warfare. 

"For  these  manoeuvers,  a  machine  gun  company,  Stokes-mortar, 
one-pounder,  pioneer  and  signal  detadiments  were  assigned  to  the 
Battalion,  making  it  a  complete  little  army  within  itself,  except 
for  the  light  artillery  piece  which  had  recently  come  into  general

thus  composed,  comprised  some  800  infantrymen,  100  machine  gun 
men,  60  men  of  the  battalion  scout  platoon,  and  85  in  the  three

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

To  the  Trenches  ivUh  the  llSth  Infantry. 

As  soon  as  darkness  set  in  (about  9:80)  on  the  night  of  July  25th, 
the  hike  was  started.  It  was  a  beautiful  night  and  the  moon,  behind 
a  curtain  of  thin  white  clouds,  seemed  to  be  laughing  at  us  plodding 
along  with  our  overloaded  packs.  We  marched  silently  past  the 
fort  we  used  to  see  from  the  drill  field  and  went  on  thru  a  village 
which  was  filled  with  French  soldiers. 

"Powerful  searchlights  played  amongst  the  clouds  and  made  it 
impossible  for  a  German  to  fly  over  without  being  detected.  At 
one  in  the  morning  we  arrived  at  a  fairly  large  town,  three  miles 
from  the  border  of  Switzerland,  and  here  we  were  to  put  up  in  barns 
for  the  remainder  of  the  night.  We  had  passed  from  the  soil  of 
France  and  had  entered  that  part  of  the  province  of  Alsace  that 
had  been  ceded  to  Germany  as  a  result  of  the  Franco-Prussian  War 
of  1870.  Hiking  in  the  war  zone  is  always  done  by  night,  the  men 
resting  by  day.  Again  the  next  night  at  9 :30  the  march  was  resumed, 
but  before  starting  the  men  were  to  take  particular  care  of  their  gas 
masks  as  the  report  came  in  that  only  the  day  before  some  members 
of  the  114th  Regiment  had  been  gassed.  It  was  practically  an  uphill 
grind  all  of  the  way  and  at  the  end  of  every  half  hour,  we  fell  out 
and  rested. 

"  By  the  light  of  a  long  silvery  moon,  we  could  see  that  the  ground 
was  just  molded  with  entrenchments  and  that  barbed  wire  and  other 
obstacles  were  placed  everywhere.  We  passed  some  beautiful  forests 
and  in  one  of  them  carefully  hidden  from  the  eyes  of  an  enemy  avion, 
a  French  hospital  which  was  later  taken  over  by  the  104th  Sanitary 
Train  of  our  Division.  About  2  a.m.  we  reached  Chevannes-les- 
Grandes  and  went  off  to  a  much  needed  sleep  in  the  various  billets 
assigned  to  us.  When  daylight  broke  the  rain  was  falling  in  torrents, 
but,  despite  this,  the  men  wandered  thru  the  country  and  looked  over 
the  elaborate  system  of  trenches.  Innocent  looking  manure  piles 
proved  to  be,  on  close  inspection,  camouflage  for  heavy  guns  and 
great  rows  of  shells. 

"It  was  at  this  town  that  Lieutenant  Meyers  was  promoted  to  the 
rank  of  First  Lieutenant  and  it  pleased  the  men  just  as  much  as  it 
did  him.  At  9  o'clock  the  battalion  again  started  to  hike  and  for 
three  hours  travelled  under  a  cloudy  sky  and  along  muddy  roads. 
Strict  silence  was  the  order  of  the  march.  Frequently  flares  were 
seen  sending  forth  their  bright  light  'out  there*.  We  reached 
Suarce,  about  three  miles  from  the  trenches  and  were  quartered  in 
barracks  and  barns.  Early  next  morning  the  terrific  reports  of  an 
anti-aircraft  battery,  situated  about  200  yards  from  the  village, 
awakened  all.  Part  of  the  410th  Infantry  (French)  was  in  this  village, 
too,  and  they  were  to  go  into  the  trenches  with  us.  Everyone, 
including  the  little  tots  going  to  school,  carried  gas  masks  and  even 


TO  THE  TRENCHES  WITH  THE  113TH  INFANTRY 

while  we  were  here,  a  few  gas  shells  passed  over  our  heads  with  their 
peculiar  whine  and  exploded  far  behind  us. 

"  When  it  became  dark  Companies  G  and  H,  strung  out  in  a  column 
of  twos,  started  on  the  last  intervening  lap  which  separated  them 
from  the  front  line  trenches.  Every  few  minutes  rockets  and 
Very-lights  were  shot  high  in  the  air  and  the  heavens  were  almost 
continually  brightened.  This  sort  of  reminded  one  of  a  4th  of  July 
celebration  back  in  the  States  but  the  rattle  of  the  machine  guns  and 
automatic  gun  fire  and  the  occasional  report  of  a  75  brought  back 
all  the  seriousness  of  the  grim  business  of  war.  However,  the  men 
were  in  high  spirits  and  the  usual  'crabbin'  which  accompanies 
all  night  hikes  was  done  away  with  on  this  night.  We  passed  from 
the  open  country  and  switched  into  a  corduroy  road  which  led  into  a 
dense  forest.  After  a  long  tiresome  walk  thru  the  woods,  the  platoons 
took  their  respective  positions  in  the  front  line,  at  each  place  relieving 
a  detachment  of  French  who  shouldered  their  packs  and  moved  to 
the  rear. 

"  The  29th  Division  was  the  second  American  Division  to  occupy  the 
trenches  in  Alsace.  The  first  one  being  the  SSnd  Division  who  held 
the  lines  in  June.  On  July  30th  when  we  entered  the  trenches  the 
Blue  and  Gray  Division  was  under  the  French  7th  Army. 

"When  day-light  broke  the  men  had  a  chance  to  study  their  sur- 
roundings. Back  of  the  lines  and  away  from  the  winding  trenches, 
the  machine  gun  emplacements  and  the  maze  of  wire,  the  scenery  took 
on  a  more  peaceful  aspect.  The  company  P.  C.  was  situated  in  a 
beautiful  spot  among  the  trees  and  except  for  the  numerous  shell 
holes  in  the  ground  one  would  never  have  thought  that  the  war  had 
touched  there.  For  the  five  days  and  nights  we  were  in  the  lines 
desultory  firing  continued  all  of  the  time,  but  taking  it  all  in  all 
it  lived  up  to  tiie  name  of  a  *  quiet  sector*.  Nevertheless  the  Yanks 
were  beginning  to  Hven  things  up  and  it  gave  prospects  of  becoming 
a  very  hot  sector  before  long.  Every  day  the  artillery  sent  some 
shells  over  to  the  Boche  lines,  which  were  about  a  mile  away  and 
as  they  passed  over  our  heads  they  made  a  weird,  shrieking  sound, 
the  sound  seeming  more  uncanny  than  ever  when  heard  in  the  dead 
of  night. 

"  From  our  observation  posts,  situated  far  out  in '  No  Man's  Land ', 
the  men  could  see  the  smoke  and  hear  the '  c-r-u-m-p '  of  the  exploding 
shells.  A  German  patrol  came  over  one  night  and  attacked  and 
killed  a  few  engineers  and  Co.  E  men  (situated  on  our  left)  but  the 
sector  manned  by  H  Company  men  remained  unmolested.  One 
night,  however,  some  of  the  men  at  a  G.  C.^  reported  being  fired  upon 
by  machine  guns  and  they  and  the  French  stood  ready  to  repel  the 
anticipated  Boche  raid  which  for  some  reason  was  never  attempted.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

"The  woods  were  infested  with  snipers  who  altho'  silent  during 
the  day  were  very  active  at  night.  Every  night  brought  in  reports 
of  men  being  fired  upon  and  it  was  a  great  wonder  that  no  one  was 
hit.  We  were  never  able  to  discover  who  was  doing  the  shooting 
but  rumors  never  confirmed  yet  considered  reliable,  were  spread  about 
German  soldiers  disguised  in  French  uniforms  being  responsible  for 
it.  This  could  easily  be  done  for  in  all  these  Alsatian  villages  many 
German  faces  were  to  be  seen — ^some  of  these  families  having  husbands 
and  sons  in  the  Kaiser's  army — and  it  was  a  simple  matter  to  shelter 
a  supposed  French  poilu  in  the  day  and  for  him  to  start  on  his 
expedition  to  the  lines  at  night  without  anyone  having  the  least  bit 
of  suspicion. 

"Our  worst  enemies  in  these  trenches  were  the  rats — dugouts, 
shelters  and  barracks  we^  infested  with  them  and  many  a  hobnail  was 
flung  with  a  curse  at  the  pests.  To  hear  a  flock  of  rats  go  scampering 
on  Uie  duckboards  thru  the  trenches  at  night  was  a  sound  which 
many  a  time  got  on  a  fellow's  nerve."

CHAPTER  XVII. 

CHANGES  IN  THE  DIVISION  STAFF — OFFICERS  RELIEVED. 


In  accordance  with  the  new  Tables  of  Organization,  which 
were  received  just  previous  to  the  division's  sailing  from  the 
United  States,  certain  changes  in  the  division  staff,  particularly 
in  the  General  Staff  Section,  became  necessary.  Instead  of  the 
first  and  second  Assistants  Chief  of  Staff,  as  formerly  provided, 
there  were  provided  three  Assistants  Chief  of  Staff,  to  be  of  the 
rank  of  major  or  lieutenant-colonel,  and  known  as  Assistant  Chief 
of  Staff  G-1,  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff  G-2,  and  Assistant  Chief  of 
Staff  G-3,  the  letter  "G"  being  an  abbreviation  for  General  Staff 
Section,  and  the  numeral  indicating  the  section  of  the  General 
Staff  to  which  each  assistant  was  assigned.  For  example,  G-1  had 
charge  of  the  First  or  Administrative  Section  of  the  General  Staff 
work  of  the  division;"  G-2,  the  Second  or  Intelligence  Section;  and 
G-3,  the  Third  or  Operations  Section. 

Most  of  the  General  Staff  oflScers  of  a  division  were  graduates 
of  the  Army  General  Staff  college  and  all  were  assigned  to  the 
various  divisions  by  General  Headquarters.  Major  John  C. 
French,  of  the  Regular  Army,  reported  for  duty  as  G-1  July  7th, 
1918\  while  the  division  was  in  the  Prouthoy  Training  Area. 
Captain  John  A.  Cutchins,  of  the  Virginia  National  Guard,  who 
had  been  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff  of  the  division  while  it  was  in 
the  United  States,  reported  for  duty  as  G-2,  when  the  division 
was  leaving  for  the  Alsatian  front.  He  also  performed  temporarily 
the  duties  of  G-3,  until  the  arrival  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  A.  M. 
Pardee,  of  the  Regular  Army,  who  reported  as  G-3,  after  the 
division  had  gone  into  line  in  the  Alsace  Sector.  These  three 
officers  were  recent  graduates  of  the  Army  General  Staff  College. 
Captain  John  L.  Gaunt  was  appointed  Acting  G-2  while  Captain 
Cutchins  was  Acting  G-3. 

The  division  had  lost  many  excellent  staff  officers  upon  its 
arrival  in  France  because  of  their  assignment  to  duty  with  other 
organizations.  Major  James  A.  Ulio,  formerly  Division  Adjutant 
and  a  graduate  of  the  Army  General  Staff  College,  had  been  trans-

f erred  to  the  4th  Corps,  as  G-1,  which  necessitated  the  appoint- 
ment of  Major  Harry  Coope,  formerly  of  the  District  of  Columbia 
National  Guard,  as  adjutant  in  his  stead^  Captain  George  Scott 
Stewart,  Jr.,  formerly  of  the  U.  S.  R.,  succeeding  Major  Coope 
as  Assistant  Division  Adjutant.  1st  Lieutenant  Blanchard 
Randall  of  the  54th  Artillery  Brigade,  who  had  been  acting  as 
aide  to  General  Morton,  was  at  the  same  time  appointed  per- 
manent aide.  Colonel  R.  T.  Ward,  of  the  Regular  Army,  com- 
manding the  104th  Engineers,  was  transferred  to  the  First  Army 
for  duty  as  G-8,  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  Crosby  assumed  tem- 
porary command  in  his  stead*.  Major  R.  C.  Cotton,  of  the 
R^ular  Army,  having  been  transferred  for  duty  with  the  5th 
Army  Corps,  Major  Charles  B.  Hazletine,  of  the  Regular  Army, 
was  appointed  Division  Signal  Officer  in  his  stead'.  Captain 
Christian  Heidt,  2nd,  formerly  of  the  New  Jersey  National  Guard, 
succeeded  to  the  command  of  the  104th  Field  Signal  Battalion. 

Major  W.  V.  Shipley,  Q.  M.  C,  formerly  of  Maryland, 
Assistant  Quartermaster,  was  appointed  Division  Quartermaster^, 
succeeding  Lieutenant-Colonel  A.  K.  Baskette,  of  the  Regular 
Army,  who  had  been  transferred  out  of  the  division.  These 
officers  had  been  with  the  29th  since  its  organization.  We  were 
beginning  to  learn  that  we  could  not  hope  to  keep  with  the  division 
our  old  well-trained  officers,  and  that  promotion  caused  "casual- 
ties "  for  us,  as  did  death,  wounds  and  sickness. 

Major  R.  H.  Kelley,  Division  Inspector  and  acting  Division 
Machine  Gun  Officer,  was  relieved  as  Division  Insf)ector,  and  was 
appointed  Division  Machine  Gun  Officer*.  He  was  succeeded,  as 
Division  Inspector*,  by  Major  Harvey  L.  Jones,  then  commanding 
the  Horsed  Section  of  the  Ammunition  Train,  at  Meucon.  During 
the  interval,  under  verbal  orders  of  General  Morton,  Major 
John  Philip  Hill,  Division  Judge  Advocate,  served  as  Division 
Inspector. 

Officers  Relieved. 

The  demands  of  front  line  service  and  the  hardships  neces-

various  organizations,  in  addition  to  the  changes  in  the  staff.  For 
one  reason  or  another,  physical  or  otherwise,  the  first  few  weeks 
in  the  sector  witnessed  many  shake-ups  in  the  oflScer-personnel 
of  the  higher  units.    Some  of  these  must  be  noted: 

Colonel  T.  D.  Landon,  114th  Infantry,  formerly  of  the  New 
Jersey  National  Guard,  was  relieved  from  duty  on  August  7th, 
1918^  Lieutenant-Colonel  George  M.  Buttle,  of  the  same  state, 
succeeded  to  the  command  of  that  regiment. 

On  August  19th,  under  orders  of  G.  H.  Q.,  Brigadier-General 
Charles  W.  Barber,  Natio.nal  Army,  who  had  brought  the  New 
Jersey  Brigade  to  Camp  McClellan  and  who  had  since  been  in 
conunand  of  the  57th  Infantry  Brigade,  was  transferred  from  the 
division^.  General  Barber  at  one  time  had  been  an  oflScer  in  the 
regular  service  and  had  attained  considerable  prominence  for 
his  excellent  work  in  organizing  the  police  in  the  Panama  Canal 
Zone.  Under  an  act  of  Congress  allowing  all  officers  who  had 
served  in  the  Canal  Zone  to  retire  with  the  next  higher  grade, 
he  had  retired  with  the  grade  of  major,  and  had  later  served  as 
Adjutant  General  of  the  State  of  New  Jersey.  Colonel  Milton 
A.  Reckord,  of  the  115th  Infantry  was  assigned  to  the  temporary 
command  of  the  57th  Brigades  until  the  arrival  of  Brigadier- 
General  Le  Roy  S.  Upton,  who  reported  for  duty  as  Commanding 
General  of  the  57th  Infantry  Brigade  on  September  7th,  1918*. 
Colonel  Reckord  thereupon  returned  to  the  command  of  the  115  th 
Infantry,  which  during  his  absence  had  been  commanded  by 
Major  Henry  S.  Barrett. 

General  Upton,  as  Colonel  of  the  9  th  Infantry,  had  seen  much 
service  overseas,  and  had  acquitted  himself  with  such  gallantry 
while  in  command  of  his  regiment  that  he  was  awarded  the  D.  S. 
C.  He  remained  in  command  of  the  brigade  throughout  its 
period  of  service  and  until  the  return  of  the  division  to  the  United 
States.  The  efficiency  of  the  brigade,  the  regiments  of  which  had 
suffered  no  little  by  the  frequent  change  of  commanding  officers, 
noticeably  increased  after  General  Upton  assumed  command. 

Colonel  A.  J.  Harris,  National  Army,  having  reported  for 
duty,  was  assigned  to  the  command  of  the  116th  Infantry  on

mSTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

August  21st,  1918^  relieving  Colonel  Hansford  L.  Threlkeld  of 
the  Regular  Army. 

Brigadier-General  L.  R.  Holbrook,  Field  Artillery,  having 
reported  for  duty  as  commanding  oflScer  of  the  54th  Artillery 
Brigade,  was  ordered  to  Meucon  and  assumed  conmiand^. 
General  Holbrook  had  seen  much  service  with  the  artillery  of  the 
1st  Division,  in  which  he  had  commanded  the  7th  Regiment  of 
Field  Artillery.  At  this  time  the  110th  Field  Artillery  Regiment 
was  commanded  by  Colonel  Washington  Bowie,  Jr.,  the  111th 
by  Colonel  W.  C.  Jones,  of  the  Regular  Army,  and  the  112th 
by  Colonel  Quincy  A.  Gillmore.  Unfortunately,  and  much  to  the 
regret  not  only  of  the  artillerymen  themselves,  but  also  of  the 
entire  division,  the  54th  Artillery  Brigade  did  not  see  service 
with  the  division  because  it  was  unable  to  secure  equipment  and 
horses.  They  were  on  the  march  to  join  the  division  on  the  day 
the  Armistice  was  signed. 

Major  James  H.  Davidson,  commanding  the  111th  Machine 
Gun  Battalion,  was  relieved  of  his  command  on  August  26th, 
1918^  Captain  Millard  E.  Tydings,  112th  Machine  Gun  Battal- 
ion, succeeded  him.  Colonel  R.  C.  Williams,  of  the  Regular 
Army,  was  assigned  to  the  command  of  the  114th  Infantry  on 
September  7th,  1918^;  and  on  September  10th,  Captain  J.  A.  K. 
Marshall,  formerly  of  the  New  Jersey  National  Guard,  was 
assigned  to  the  command  of  the  104lJi  Military  Police^.  He 
succeeded  Major  Russell  P.  Freeman,  formerly  of  the  New  Jersey 
National  Guard,  who  was  assigned  to  command  a  battalion  of  the 
114th  Infantry. 

Colonel  H.  C.  Jones,  formerly  of  the  Maryland  National 
Guard,  was  relieved  from  command  of  the  113th  Infantry  on  Sep- 
tember 12th,  1918*  and  Lieutenant-Colonel  William  R.  Pope,  then 
lieutenant-colonel  of  the  115th,  was  assigned  to  command  of  the 
113th. 

Captain  Waller  N.  Mercer,  formerly  of  the  Medical  Corps 
of  the  Virginia  National  Guard,  was  assigned  as  Division  Medical 
Gas  OflScer  on  September  18th,  1918^;  and  on  September  19th,

OFFICERS  RELIEVED 

1918S  Captain  Lewis  B.  Ballantyne,  formerly  of  the  New  Jersey 
National  Guard,  was  assigned  to  the  command  of  the  29th 
Division  Headquarters  Troop,  relieving  Captain  John  C.  Lane, 
assigned  to  the  Air  Service. 

Lieutenant-Colonel  Hobert  B.  Brown  was  put  in  command  of 
the  114th  Infantry  on  September  19th,  1918^,  to  relieve  Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel George  M.  Buttle'. 

Colonel  George  S.  Goodale,  General  Staff,  Chief  of  Staff, 
having  been  ordered  to  the  Army  General  Staff  College  at  Langres, 
was  relieved  from  duty  with  the  division^.  He  was  succeeded  as 
Chief  of  Staff  by  Colonel  Sidney  A.  Cloman^,  who  filled  that  im- 
portant post  during  the  last  week  of  the  division's  stay  in  the 
sector  and  throughout  the  stirring  days  of  the  Meuse-Argonne 
oflfensive.  He  was  finally  relieved  on  December  1st,  1918*,  and 
ordered  to  Paris  as  a  member  of  the  Financial  Section  of  the  army. 
Colonel  Cloman  had  been  in  the  service  before  1917  and  had 
retired  to  civil  life  where  he  had  held  many  important  positions, 
but  had  rejoined  the  army  at  the  beginning  of  the  war.  He 
recently  had  graduated  from  the  Army  General  StaflF  College, 
at  Langres.  Colonel  Cloman  was  recommended  for  promotion 
to  Brigadier-General,  which  recommendation  was  approved  by 
the  Commander-in-Chief,  but  had  not  been  commissioned  when 
the  Armistice  was  signed. 

Lieutenant-Colonel  Austin  M.  Pardee,  Assistant  Chief  of 
Staff,  G-3,  was  relieved  from  duty  with  the  division^  on  September 
23rd  and  was  sent  back  to  the  United  States  for  duty  with  a  new 
division.  He  was  succeeded  by  Lieutenant-Colonel  W.  S.  Bowen, 
General  Staff,  who  joined  the  division  just  prior  to  its  departure

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Captain  John  L.  Gaunt,  Assistant  to  the  Assistant  Chief  of 
Staff,  G-2,  was  also  sent  back  to  the  United  States  for  duty  with 
a  new  division.  He  was  succeeded  by  Captain  Lewis  D.  Walker, 
of  the  113th  Infantry,  who  served  in  that  capacity  until  the  divi- 
sion was  disbanded. 

On  September  25th,  Colonel  V.  A.  CaldwelP,  of  the  Regular 
Army,  reported  for  duty  and  was  assigned  to  the  command  of 
the  68th  Brigade,  relieving  Brigadier-General  H.  H.  Bandholtz^. 
General  Bandholtz,  an  officer  of  the  regular  army,  who  had 
formerly  been  on  duty  with  the  National  Guard  of  New  York, 
as  Chief  of  Staff  of  the  New  York  Division,  had  joined  the  29th 
Division  and  assumed  command  of  the  58th  Brigade  at  Camp 
McClellan.  He  had  charge  of  the  brigade  until  just  before  the 
division  left  the  Alsatian  Sector.  Then  he  was  transferred  to 
General  Headquarters  and  was  made  Provost  Marshal  General 
of  the  American  Expeditionary  Forces. 

Colonel  R.  C.  Williams,  of  the  Regular  Army,  was  relieved^ 
of  command  of  the  114th  Infantry,  on  September  27th  and 
Lieutenant-Colonel  Hobert  B.  Brown,  formerly  of  the  New  Jersey 
Cavalry,  was  recommended  for  promotion  to  the  grade  of  colonel 
and  was  assigned  to  the  command  of  the  regiment. 

At  this  time  Colonel  George  N.  Bomf ord,  of  the  Regular  Army, 
also  reported  for  duty,  and  was  assigned  to  the  command  of  the 
113th  Infantry*.  Colonel  Bomf  ord  was  relieved*  a  few  days 
later.  Lieutenant-Colonel  W.  R.  Pope,  of  the  Regular  Army, 
was  recommended  for  promotion  to  the  grade  of  colonel,  was 
assigned  to  the  command  of  the  regiment',  and  remained  in  com- 
mand throughout  the  period  of  the  division's  fighting  and  until 
after  the  Armistice  was  signed.

CHAPTER  XVm. 

WE  ARE  RAIDED  BY  THE  ENEMY — ^WE  ARE  RAIDED  A  SECOND  TIME — ^WE 

TAKE  OVER  A  SECTOR  OF  OUR  OWN. 


Realizing  that  he  had  a  new  division  opposite  his  front,  the 
enemy  decided  to  give  us  a  course  of  treatment  in  frightfulness, 
and  began  a  series  of  silent  raids  on  our  forward  posts.  These 
activities,  in  themselves,  were  of  comparatively  slight  importance, 
but  were  yet  of  high  significance  to  the  men  who  participated  in 
them.  Then,  too,  the  manner  in  which  the  raids  were  met  gave 
evidence  of  the  spirit  which  actuated  all  units  of  the  division. 
The  historians  of  Company  K,  of  the  115th  Infantry^  thus  tell 
the  story  of  the  first  raid: 

"On  the  morning  of  July  31st,  while  the  first  and  second  platoons  of 
Company  K,  115th  Infantry,  were  in  advanced  position,  and  the 
third  and  fourth  platoons  were  at  'stand-to'  in  the  line  of  resistance, 
an  enemy  raiding  party  came  over  to  our  lines  in  an  attempt  to 
capture  prisoners.  The  time  of  the  raid  was  the  conventional  time, 
the  darkest  part  of  the  morning  just  before  dawn.  Dispositions 
for  the  day  were  just  being  made  when  the  Boche  was  discovered 
about  4:45  a.m.,  as  the  section  leaders,  Sergeants  Samuel  Cadell, 
J.  H.  E.  Hoppe  and  Richard  Loeshki  were  posting  their  men. 
The  Boche  made  a  vicious  attack  with  ^nades  mortally  wounding 
Private  Paul  Hull,  who  died  the  following  day.  Sergeant  Hoppe's 
thumb  was  blown  ofiF  and  one  of  Sergeant  Cadell's  eyes  was  shot  out. 
Sergeant  Hoppe,  despite  his  wound,  and  Private  Youngbar,  also 
wounded,  leaped  out  of  the  trench  and  engaged  the  enemy  in  hand- 
to-hand  contest.  The  rest  of  the  men  in  the  day  post  were  at  the 
same  time  engaged  with  other  large  parties  of  Germans  who  were 
endeavoring  to  cut  them  oif  from  the  night  post.  Findins  things 
going  against  them,  the  enemy  sent  up  a  signal  rocket,  and  fired  a 
close-boi  barrage  on  the  lines  of  resistance,  and  on  the  communicating 
trenches  of  P.  Ps  5,  6  and  7  in  an  attempt  to  cut  off  communication 
with  the  support  platoons. 

"In  the  meantime  several  large  parties  of  the  enemy  had  worked 
past  the  day  post  and  attacked  the  night  post,  about  three  yards 
m  the  rear.  The  night  post  was  under  the  command  of  Lieutenant 
Patterson,  who  was  later  assisted  by  Captain  Lee  and  Lieutenant 
O'Connell,  both  of  Company  K,  who  had  come  up  through  the 
barrage  to  the  aid  of  the  advanced  detachment.  Private  Alexander 
Staniski  was  kiUed  while  firing  his  automatic  rifle  over  the  parapet. 
Captain  Frank  H.  Hewitt  and  Sergeant  Frank  W.  Bushman. 

(  101  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Corporals  Fred  Horn  and  Nathan  Hill  were  wounded,  and  Private 
James  Lundy  killed.  The  barrage  lifted  at  5:30  a.m.,  after  the 
enemy  had  retired  to  his  lines.  The  heavy  counter  barrage  laid 
down  by  the  French  artillery  supporting  us  in  this  section  un- 
doubtedly took  heavy  toll  of  the  enemy. 

"Sergeant  Hoppe  and  Private  Youngbar  were  awarded  the  distin- 
guished Service  Cross^  for  their  work  in  this  encounter,  Captain 
Lee  and  Lieutenant  O'Connell,  and  Sergeant  Loeshki  were  awarded 
the  Croix  de  Guerre  by  the  French  for  their  coiurageous  conduct 
during  this  raid." 

This  simple  account  tells  the  usual  story  of  the  wonderful 
courage  of  the  average  man  of  the  Blue  and  Gray  Division — of 
the  average  American  soldier  for  that  matter.  Although  saddened 
at  these  first  battle  losses,  the  division  felt  a  thrill  of  pride  at 
the  courageous  conduct  of  our  men  in  their  first  encounter  with 
the  enemy.  The  honors  won  on  this  occasion  were  a  source  of 
gratification  to  the  entire  division.  Captain  Lee,  Lieutenant 
O'Connell,  Sergeants  Hoppe,  Cadell  and  Loeshki,  and  First 
Class  Private  Youngbar,  were  the  men  to  be  awarded  the  first 
divisional  citation  for  gallantry  in  action  as  a  result  of  their 
courageous  conduct  in  this  affair^. 

We  are  Raided  a  Second  Time. 

A  few  days  later,  on  August  4th,  the  enemy  attempted  a 
second  raid.  This  time  the  Germans  assailed  at  an  isolated  post 
known  as  No.  58,  held  by  Company  L,  of  the  114th  Infantry, 
in  the  sector  of  the  57th  Brigade.  Again  the  raiding  party  was 
repulsed  with  great  gallantry,  but  not  without  loss  on  our 
part,  while  the  enemy  accomplished  his  purpose,  to  capture 
prisoners  and  so  to  determine  what  division  was  opposite  him. 
Private  Merritt  Jones  was  killed,  and  Corporal  Beatty  and 

>  **John  H,  E,  Hoppe,  sergeant  Company  K,  115tli  Infantry.    He  displayed  extraordinary 

heroism,  presence  of  mind  and  physical  endurance  during  an  enemy  raid  against  his 
small  advance  post  near  Gildwiller,  in  Alsace,  on  July  81, 1918.  Although  seriously 
wounded  from  grenades,  he  and  one  private  from  his  company  counterattacked  a 
greatly  superior  enemy,  personally  killing  at  least  one  of  them  with  his  rifle,  preventing 
any  entry  by  the  enemy  into  his  post,  and  finally  reentering  our  lines  after  having 
received  a  second  severe  wound." 
"Andy  F.  Youngbar,  private  Companv  K,  115th  Infantry.  During  a  raid  against  a 
post  of  his  command  near  GildwiUer,  France,  July  SI,  1918,  he  showed  fine  courage 
and  endurance  when  attacked  with  hand  grenades.  Although  seriously  wounded* 
he  joined  in  a  counterattack  agunst  greatly  superior  numbers  and  continued  to  fight, 
even  after  receiving  a  second  wound*  until  the  enemy  was  r^ulsed." 

>  G.  O.  46,  6  Aug.  18. 

[  1012  ] 


WE  ARE  RAIDED  A  SECOND  TIME 

Privates  Elleson  and  Shea  wounded.  Corporal  Rosenberg  and 
Privates  Kellaher,  Martine  and  Gantazi  were  taken  back  by  the 
Germans  as  prisoners  of  war.  Second  Lieutenant  Meade  Arbo- 
gast.  Sergeant  John  K.  Bagley,  Sergeant  Horace  J.  Cooley  and 
Private  Elleson  were  cited  by  the  division  commander  for  their 
part  in  repulsing  the  raiding  party,  which,  as  was  learned  from 
Corporal  Rosenberg,  upon  his  exchange  after  the  Armistice, 
numbered  eighty  oflBcers  and  men. 

This  second  raid  demonstrated  to  the  officers  and  men  of  the 
division  that  there  was  in  the  "Blue"  the  same  brand  of  courage 
which  the  "Gray"  had  been  shown  to  possess  a  few  nights  before. 

The  division  at  this  time,  though  under  the  administrative 
control  of  the  5th  American  Army  Corps,  was  a  part  of  and  under 
the  tactical  command  of  the  40th  French  Army  Corps.  On  August 
6th,  1918,  in  compliance  with  G.  O.  No.  6  of  the  latter  Corps, 
Field  Orders  No.  8  of  the  29th  Division  were  issued  to  the  effect 
that  the  29th  Division  would  take  over  the  Center  Sector  of  the 
Defensive  Zone,  Haute  Alsace,  at  nine  o'clock  the  following 
morning.  Necessary  troop  movements  were  ordered  and  the 
movement  of  the  divisional  P.  C.  on  the  morning  of  August 
9th  from  Boron  toMontreux-Vieux  and  the  Division  Headquarters 
from  Grand- Villars  to  Montreux-Chateau  was  announced. 

The  very  morning  on  which  the  division  first  took  over  a 
sector  of  its  own  a  working  party  of  engineers  was  ambushed, 
causing  several  casualties.  The  story  is  thus  told  by  the  historian 
of  Company  C,  104th  Engineers*: 

^'It  was  daybreak  of  August  7th,  1918.  As  the  bright  warm 
sun  of  early  Fall  rose  above  the  horizon  *C*  Company  of  the  104th 
Engineers  left  the  small  Alsatian  town  of  Fulleien,  in  which  it  was 
billeted,  and  took  the  road  leading  towards  the  east  and  the  lines. 

**  Already,  overhead,  photographic  and  reconnaissance  planes  were 
commencing  their  morning  patrol  and  small,  dainty  white  plumes, 
which  had  suddenly  commenced  to  blossom  out  in  a  section  of  the 
clear  blue  sky  with  an  almost  inaudible  'Pop*  gave  indication 
that  the  steady  low  throb  from  above  them  came  from  an  inquisitive 
Boche  bent  on  information.  In  the  deep  woods  ahead  an  occasional 
quarter-minute  rat-tat-tat  denoted  that  an  automatic  rifle  or  machine 
gun  was  paying  an  opposing  gun  across  the  line  a  customary  'Good 
Morning*.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

**For  five  days  *C'  Company  had  been  on  delicate  work.  Under 
supervision  of  the  French  a  'field  of  fire'  was  being  cleared  in  front  of 
the  new  locations  of  the  machine  guns  and  automatic  rifles  in  the 
Bois  de  Fulleren.  That  is,  the  dense  undergrowth  of  a  *No  Man's 
Land'  of  years  standing  was  being  cut  away  sufficiently  to  allow 
the  gunners  to  locate  their  targets  in  case  of  attack. 

"After  proceeding  into  the  woods  for  a  short  distance  the  company 
divided  into  its  respective  platoons  and  each  of  these  went  off 
in  the  direction  of  the  sector  assigned  to  them  to  clean  up. 

"The  first  platoon  followed  a  narrow  gauge  railway  and  corduroy 
road  for  a  short  time  and  then  entered  a  communicating  trench. 
When  a  certain  point  in  the  front  line  was  reached  working  parties, 
each  made  up  of  five  or  six  men  and  a  corporal,  commenced  dropping 
off  until  the  entire  platoon  was  spread  out  in  small  groups  for  a 
distance  of  several  hundred  yards. 

"  The  first  work  party  to  be  dropped  off  was  one  composed  of  Privates 
Snyder,  Zentiles,  Murray,  Flack  and  Price,  under  Corporal  Carver. 

"The  trench  in  front  of  which  they  were  to  work  had  formed  a  part 
of  the  old  German  line,  and  an  automatic  rifle,  manned  by  the 
infantry,  was  placed  in  it.  Directly  in  front  were  two  belts  of 
gnarled  and  twisted  barbed  wire  and  about  a  hundred  yards  out 
from  them  was  a  small  stagnant  pond  several  hundred  feet  in 
diameter.  Old  and  unused  communicating  trenches  ran  in  every 
direction  and  shell  holes,  partly  filled  with  water,  and  the  rest  with 
weeds,  intersected  one  another  over  the  entire  area.  Over  it  all 
weeds  and  small  trees  had  grown  to  a  height  of  five  or  six  feet. 

"This  was  the  fifth  day  this  engineer  party  had  spent  clearing 
the  field  of  fire  for  the  automatic  rifle.  A  smsdl  fringe  remained  to 
be  cleared  from  around  the  lake  and  the  job  would  be  completed. 
Some  distance  from  the  opposite  side  of  the  lake  were  the  German 
lines.  Corporal  Carver,  as  usual  reported  to  the  infantry  sergeant 
in  command  of  the  trench  at  that  point  and  in  answer  to  his  query 
was  told  that  nothing  had  happened  during  the  night  before.  Usually 
the  infantry  supplied  a  covering  party  for  engineer  working  parties, 
but  so  thinly  were  our  front  Imes  held  at  i£at  time  that  to  have 
furnished  even  a  few  men  would  have  weakened  the  line  considerably. 
Since  but  an  hour's  work  remained  Carver,  with  full  willingness  of 
his  squad,  decided  to  complete  the  work  without  infantry  aid  and 
decided  to  post  two  of  his  own  men,  one  on  each  flank,  to  be  on  the 
lookout  for  trouble.  Both  lines  seemed  entirely  quiet.  Snyder 
was  told  to  proceed  down  the  left  side  of  the  clearing  and  station 
himself  in  the  fringe  on  the  north  side  of  the  lake,  while  Carver, 
accompanied  by  Flack,  went  down  on  the  right  side,  intending  to 
station  the  latter  on  the  south  side  of  the  pond.  Price,  Zentiles  and 
Murray  went  down  to  the  center  to  commence  work.    The  entire

party  had  about  reached  the  fringe  around  the  lake  when  a  sharp 
command  was  heard,  seemingly  from  in  front.  Immediately  rifles 
and  automatic  rifles  opened  fire  from  the  thicket  ahead.  During 
the  night  a  patrol  of  Boche  had  moved  up  to  the  small  border  of 
undergrowth  around  the  lake  with  the  intention,  evidently,  of 
ambushing  the  entire  platoon  when  it  made  its  appearance  on  the 
following  morning.  For  twenty  minutes  the  steady  rasp  of  machine 
guns  and  rifles  was  broken  only  by  the  frequent  heavy  detonations 
of  exploding  grenades.  Then  the  firing  stopped  almost  as  quickly 
as  it  had  started. 

**  In  the  American  front  line  trench  a  patrol  was  immediately  formed 
to  ascertain  the  fate  of  the  working  party.  The  Germans  had  retired 
to  their  own  lines.  On  the  edge  of  the  undergrowth  the  body  of 
Price  was  found;  he  had  been  shot  in  the  head  and  breast.  The  partly 
filled  magazine  indicated  that  his  rifle  had  been  fired  several  times. 
A  short  time  later  Zentiles  crawled  in  with  a  bullet  through  the  hip 
and  following  him  came  Murray,  stumblins  and  crawling  through 
the  wire  to  drop,  exhausted,  into  the  front  une  trench.  A  grenade 
had  exploded  along  side  of  him  while  he  lay  in  a  shell  hole  and  his 
ammunition  belt  and  canteen  were  chewed  up  by  the  explosion. 
Despite  an  abdomen  full  of  metal  he  insisted  he  wouldn't  die  and 
was  rushed  to  the  rear.  For  several  days  his  life  hung  in  the  balance 
but  following  several  operations  he  pulled  through.  Carver  and 
Snyder  had  succeeded  in  escaping  the  ambush  by  reaching  the 
undergrowth  on  the  north  edge  of  the  clearing.  Flack  was  missing 
and  although  the  entire  area  was  combed  no  trace  of  him  could  be 
found.  It  was  later  reported  that  he  had  been  wounded,  and  cap- 
tured, and  had  died  in  a  German  prison  camp. 

"The  body  of  Price  was  taken  to  the  rear  and  was  buried  with  im- 
pressive ceremony  at  Fontaine,  Divisional  Chaplain  Hare  ofliciating. 
It  was  a  curious  coincidence  that  only  a  few  years  before  Price 
had  been  a  member  of  the  congregation  of  a  church  in  Burlington, 
N.  J.,  of  which  Chaplain  Hare  was  pastor  and  they  had  known  each 
other  well. 

The  divisional  P.  C.  was  located  in  a  former  German  Custom 
house,  Montreux-Vieux  having  been  until  recently  in  German 
Alsace. 

Headquarters  of  the  57th  Brigade  were  established  at  Romagny 
and  of  the  58th  Brigade  at  Fontaine.  On  August  13th  the  plan 
of  defense  of  the  sector  was  announced,  and  the  division  settled 
down'seriously  to  a  period  of  first  line  duty, — intensive  training 
for  the  more  active  work  ahead. 

An  interesting  feature  of  the  plan  of  defense  now  formulated 
was  the  employment  of  the  madiine  gun  units.    Machine  gun 

[  105] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

positions,  echeloned  to  the  rear  in  strongly  built  nests,  selected 
and  constructed  under  the  direction  of  the  Division  Machine 
Gun  Officer,  covered  the  entire  sector.  So  well  were  these  posi- 
tions selected  that  upon  the  sending  up  of  an  S.  O.  S.  rocket  from 
any  part  of  the  line,  a  defensive  protective  barrage  could  be  laid 
down,  the  gunners  firing  over  the  heads  of  the  occupying  troops. 
Furthermore,  each  unit  had  a  direct-fire  mission  to  be  performed 
if  the  enemy  should  break  through.  This  scheme  of  machine 
gun  defense  later  was  adopted  in  its  entirety  by  the  88th  Division 
when  it  relieved  the  29th. 

Mention  should  be  made,  too,  of  the  harassing  fire  employed 
once  every  twenty-four  hours  in  each  regimental  sector.  The 
location  of  "soft  spots"  was  furnished  the  Division  Machine  Gun 
Officer  by  G-2.  These  were  subjected  to  harassing  fire,  generally 
between  midnight  and  daylight.  The  enemy  responded  promptly 
with  artillery  as  well  as  with  machine  gun  fire.  As  a  result  the 
sector  lost  rapidly  its  reputation  as  a  "quiet  sector/*

CHAPTER  XIX. 

GENERAL   PERSHING   VISITS  OUR  SECTOR — THE  GERMANS  RAID  OUR 

TRENCHES. 


On  August  20th  the  Commander-in-Chief,  General  Pershing, 
visited  the  division  on  a  tour  of  inspection,  and  seemed  well 
pleased  with  its  work  and  general  appearance.  He  spent  practi- 
cally the  whole  day  in  the  sector,  went  carefully  over  the  entire 
area  and  inspected  every  activity  of  the  division.  As  an  immediate 
result  of  his  visit,  he  ordered  discontinued  the  English  form  of 
saluting,  which  provided  for  all  occasions.  For  instance,  in  the 
British  army  a  man  driving  a  wagon,  riding  a  bicycle  or  doing 
any  other  such  thing,  which  required  the  use  of  both  hands,  would 
salute  by  turning  his  head.  This  greatly  appealed  to  General 
Morton  who  had  instituted  it  in  the  division  upon  his  return  to 
the  United  States  from  his  tour  of  observation  in  France  during 
the  fall  of  1917.  The  discontinuance  of  this  order  was  a  source 
of  considerable  regret  to  the  men  of  the  division  who  prided 
themselves  upon  their  smartness  in  appearance  and  in  the  observ- 
ance of  mihtary  courtesies,  and  rather  liked  the  idea  of  having 
something  distinctive.  The  correctness  of  the  order  to  discontinue 
that  method  of  saluting,  however,  could  not  be  gainsaid,  and  was 
in  accord  with  General  Pershing's  policy  of  having  an  American 
army  governed  by  American  regulations. 

Subsequent  events  proved  conclusively  that  the  visit  of  the 
Commander-in-Chief  was  not  entirely  for  inspection  purposes, 
but  had  behind  it  a  much  larger  and  more  important  purpose, — 
to  have  the  enemy  know  that  he  had  been  in  this  sector  and  had 
carefully  gone  over  the  situation. 

The  visit  of  General  Pershing  was  followed  shortly  by  a 
similar  visit  from  Marshal  Petain,  commanding  the  armies  of 
France.  The  two  events  were  sufficient  to  cause  considerable 
excitement  and  nervousness  in  the  enemy  opposite  us  and  thereby 
to  divert  his  attention  from  our  activities  elsewhere.  When 
still  later,  Major-General  Omar  Bundy,  then  in  command  of  the 
6th  Army  Corps  which  existed  mostly  on  paper,  also  visited 
Belfort  with  his  staff,  drove  around  quite  publicly,  and  let  it 

[  107] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

be  known  that  the  American  authorities  were  seeking  accommo- 
dations for  a  corps  headquarters,  the  enemy's  nervousness  was 
greatly  increased.  A  bundle  of  papers  containing  plans  for  an 
advance  up  the  valley  between  Belfort  and  Mulhouse  was  said 
to  have  been  lost  purposely  in  the  main  hotel  in  Belfort,  and  as 
they  were  never  found  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that  they  reached 
their  desired  destination,  thanks  to  German  spies,  and  succeeded 
in  adding  to  what  must  have  been  the  already  well-founded 
belief  of  the  enemy  that  an  attack  in  this  section  was  imminent. 
As  a  matter  of  fact  plans  for  an  advance  up  the  valley  opposite  us 
had  been  carefully  worked  out  by  the  General  Staff  of  the  29th 
Division  as  well  as  by  the  General  Staffs  of  the  79th  and 
80th  Divisions.  It  is  not  known,  however,  that  an  advance  in 
this  section  was  ever  selriously  considered. 

The  sector  now  occupied  by  the  division  was  regarded  by  the 
French  as  one  of  considerable  importance,  inasmuch  as  it  was 
included  in  the  "  Gap  of  Belfort."  Naturally,  it  must  have  been 
regarded  also  by  tjbe  enemy  as  affording  a  possible  line  of  advance. 
Through  this  gap,  between  the  Vosges  Mountains  and  the  Alps, 
Attilla  and  his  horde  had  invaded  France.  Through  it  the 
Germans  had  poured  in  1870,  when  Alsace  was  lost  to  France. 
And  it  was  through  this  gateway  that  the  Freneh  armies 
marched  in  1914  to  regain  their  lost  provinces, — in  fact,  they 
captured  Mulhouse  at  that  time, — ^but  were  forced  by  the  first 
battle  of  the  Mame  to  make  a  strategic  retreat,  and  finally  to 
establish  their  line  along  the  eastern  edge  of  the  pass. 

Thus  it  may  be  seen  readily  that  rumors  of  a  contemplated 
advance  through  this  gap,  especially  when  heard  just  after  the 
visits  of  the  two  commanders,  might  well  have  given  the 
Germans  cause  for  alarm. 

The  Germans  Raid  Our  Trenches  Again. 

Early  in  the  morning,  following  the  visit  of  General  Pershing, 
the  enemy  again  raided  our  trenches.  The  historians  of  Company 
H,  llSth  Infantry^  tell  the  story  in  these  words: 

'^On  August  21st  at  4:40  in  the  morning  an  enemy  plane  flew  over- 
head and  dropped  a  signal  flare,  and  almost  immediately  Hell  was 
turned  loose  in  all  its  fury.  The  Germans  had  opened  up  their  artillery, 
and  for  one  hour  and  thirty  minutes  their  terrific  barrage  continued. 

*  Captain  R.  A.  Smith  and  Sergeant  George  H.  Cruttenden. 

[  108] 


THE  GERMANS  RAID  OUR  TRENCHES  AGAIN 

The  shells  toie  through  the  woods,  knocking  down  trees,  sending 
roots  high  in  the  air,  leveling  trenches  and  making  a  man's  chance 
of  coming  out  alive  seem  very  small.  Private  West  was  killed  at 
his  post.  Privates  Lorenz  and  Maddrah  were  also  found  dead  on 
post,  riddled  with  shrapnel.  The  earth  quivered  as  if  in  the  throes 
of  a  severe  quake,  dug-outs  even  trembled,  and  the  concussion  of 
the  bursting  shells  was  so  great  that  it  extinguished  candles  in  them. 
Some  shells  burst  high  in  the  air,  raining  down  their  jagged  pieces 
of  shrapnel,  others  ei^loded  with  a  deafening  roar  dose  to  the  earth, 
while  still  others  buned  their  noses  deep  in  the  ground  sending  up 
geysers  of  earth  and  stone  as  they  exploded. 

"Privates  Termeer,  Camus  and  Swiger'were  occupying  an  observa- 
tion post  when  a  shell  exploded,  blowing  Swiger  completdy  out  of  the 
post  and  burying  Termeer  and  Camus  so  deep  that  it  took  several 
men  two  hours  oi  hard  digging  to  free  them.  The  woods  were  filled 
with  heavy  smoke  which  greatly  helped  the  advance  of  the  raiding 
party,  following  closely  in  the  wake  of  the  barrage.  The  2nd  platoon 
received  the  brunt  of  the  bombardment,  and  of  the  attack,  but  the 
coolness  and  daring  of  Lieutenant  Meyer  and  platoon  sergeants 
James  Cooley  and  George  Meirose  kept  up  the  morale  of  the  men 
through  it  all.  The  Hun  raiders  numbered  120  as  was  afterwards 
learned  upon  the  return  of  Private  Oakley,  who  was  taken  prisoner 
during  the  engagement.  Their  losses  could  not  be  ascertained  as 
they  were  able  to  carry  both  their  dead  and  wounded  back  with 
them  to  their  own  lines.  The  hand-to-hand  fighting  lasted  more 
than  fifteen  minutes,  and  our  casualties  were  numerous.^

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

**  Tlie  enemy  disappeared  much  faster  than  he  had  come,  taking  back 
with  him  besides  OakleyS  Privates  Tallman  and  Nolan.  Many 
individual  feats  of  daring  were  performed  by  members  of  the 
company  in  this  their  first  severe  attack.  Corporal  Terrill,  who 
received  twenty-seven  pieces  of  shrapnel  and  had  his  right  hand 
badly  mangled  by  a  grenade,  put  the  stump  of  his  right  arm  in  his 
pocket  and  led  the  pursuit  after  the  retreating  raiders,  pulling  the 
pins  of  his  grenades  with  his  teeth  and  throwing  them  with  his  left 
hand.  Private  Zych,  after  having  his  left  eye  blown  out  early  in 
the  encounter,  bandaged  it  himself,  remained  at  his  post  with  his 
automatic  rifle  and  continued  to  fight  until  the  Boche  were  driven 
back.  Both  men  received  the  Distinguished  Service  Cross.^  It  is 
almost  impossible  to  pick  out  the  cases  of  individual  bravery  as 
everyone  lived  up  to  the  best  traditions  of  the  American  soldier. 
Lieutenant  Meyer,  Sergeants  Cooley  and  Meirose  and  Corporal 
Apgar  received  divisional  citations  for  the  part  they  had  taken  in 
the  fight 

''In  the  afternoon  what  remained  of  the  2nd  platoon  was  relieved 
by  a  platoon  from  E  Company.  The  men  were  in  a  high  state  of 
nervous  tension;  the  reaction  from  the  ordeal  through  which  they 
had  gone  at  dawn  had  begun  to  tell  on  them  and  they  needed  rest.*' 

The  courageous  work  of  a  detail  from  the  Signal  Corps  in 
repairing  the  lines  that  connected  the  Company  P.  C.  with  the 
forward  observation  post,  before  the  enemy's  barrage  had  lifted, 
earned  a  divisional  citation  for  the  following  men :  Sergeant  John 
Christopher,  Corporal  Ralph  Walton,  Privates  Fred  Oede, 
Michael  O'Brien,  John  Keenan,  Alfred  Bragonier,  and  Fossie 
Webb  of  the  104th  Field  Signal  Battalion,  and  Privates  Ballatyne, 
Adams  and  Mullins,  of  the  Signal  Platoon  of  the  113th  Infantry.

CHAPTER  XX. 

german  pbopaganda — ^we  abe  raided  once  more — ^we  retaliate — 

IISth  infantry  makes  a  raid. 


Of  the  amusing  things  which  happened  in  this  sector,  none 
gave  more  pleasure  to  the  men  than  the  propaganda  literature 
dropped  from  little  silk  balloons  that  were  sent  over  our  lines. 
These  balloons  were  filled  with  printed  matter,  including  post 
cards,  placards  and  newspapers,  which  was  supposed  to  have  been 
written  by  American  prisoners  and  circulated  at  their  request 
by  the  German  Government.  They  bemoaned  the  fact  that  need- 
less blood  was  being  shed,  and  recited  the  well-known  ( !)  willing- 
ness of  the  German  Government  to  act  equitably  in  order  to  end 
the  conflict  if  the  Allies  would  only  meet  them  half  way.  America's 
entrance  into  the  war  was  attributed  to  President  Wilson's 
personal  desire.  There  was  a  photograph  of  American  prisoners 
being  served  with  German  beer  and  apparently  enjoying  them- 
selves  and  then  the  inscription:  ^'How  silly  it  is  for  intelligent 
Americans  to  believe  the  rumors  of  maltreatment  by  Germans  of 
our  prisoners."  Extracts  of  speeches  and  articles  written  by 
Americans  were  quoted  to  show  that  it  would  take  four  years  to 
subdue  Germany  by  conquest. 

The  following  is  a  fair  sample  of  the  usual  propaganda: 

"Never  Say  Die. 

"Don't  die  till  you  have  to.  What  business  have  you  to  die  for 
France,  for  Alsace-Lorraine,  or  for  England  in  France.  Isn't  it 
better,  anyhow,  to  live,  than  to  die,  no  matter  for  how  glorious  a 
cause.  Isn't  it  better  to  live  and  come  back  to  the  old  folks  at  home 
than  to  rot  in  the  shell  holes  and  trenches  of  France.  You  have  had 
to  hear  many  high  f alutin  words  about  liberty,  humanity,  and  making 
the  world  safe  for  democracy,  but  honest,  now,  aren't  these  catch- 
words meiely  sugar  coating  to  the  bitter  pill  of  making  you  spend 
wretched  months  far  from  home.  Do  you  really  believe  ihose 
German  soldier  boys  in  their  faded  gray  uniforms  on  the  other  side 
of  you  are  hot  on  the  trail  of  your  liberties.  Just  like  you,  they 
want  the  war  to  end  with  honor,  so  they  can  go  back  to  their  home 
folks.  All  they  want  is  a  chance  to  live  and  let  live.  And  so,  if  it 
should  happen  that  you  fall  into  their  hands,  you  will  find  that  they 
will  treat  you  fair  enough  on  the  principle  of  Uve  and  let  live.    Why 

[111] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTYNINTH  DIVISION 

run  any  more  chances  than  you  have  to.  You  might  as  well  be  a 
free  boarder  in  Germany  until  the  war  is  over.  You  don't  want  to 
die  until  you  have  to." 

The  effect  of  this  propaganda  upon  the  minds  of  the  soldiers 
can  be  shown  best  by  the  following  literal  quotation  from  one  of 
the  company  histories: 

^'If  its  policy  was  to  excite  us,  it  succeeded,  for  it  made  us  mad  to 
think  they  thought  we  would  be  deceived  by  the  lies  those  things 
contained." 

A  company  historian  adds: 

'*They  probably  expected  we  would  take  advantage  of  their  kind 
offer  to  be  free  boarders  until  the  end  of  the  war,  and  turn  ourselves 
over  to  them  by  regiments.  It  is  apparent  that  the  Boche  was 
poorly  informed  as  to  how  thoroughly  every  man  in  the  A.  £.  F. 
knew  what  he  was  fighting  for.  It  was  a  matter  of  fact  that  the 
most  illiterate  man  in  the  outfit  could  talk  intelligently  upon  the 
subject  of  why  he  was  fighting." 

It  is  needless  to  say  that  we,  too,  were  sending  over  American 
and  Allied  propaganda  at  all  times. 

We  Are  Raided  Still  Again. 

The  last  ten  days  in  August  saw  considerable  activity  in  this 
sector.  On  the  morning  of  August  21st,  about  5:15,  just  as  dawn 
was  breaking,  the  enemy  laid  down  a  terrific  barrage  against 
the  sector  occupied  by  Company  H,  llSth  Infantry,  and  for  two 
hours  and  twenty  minutes  the  rain  of  shells  continued  while 
aeroplanes  flying  low  over  the  trenches  sent  a  hail  of  machine 
gun  bullets  on  the  men  in  them.  Strange  to  say  not  a  man  was 
injured. 

Again,  on  the  morning  of  24th,  an  observation  group  of  four 
men,  composed  of  Corporal  Lane  and  Private  Alexander  Brady, 
of  Company  M,  Private  Walter,  of  Company  L,  and  Private 
Ulrich  of  Company  G,  all  of  the  1 18th  Infantry,  while  proceeding 
through  a  narrow  trench  to  their  observation  post,  were  surprised 
by  a  patrol  of  the  enemy  which  had  Iain  in  ambush  just  outside 
of  the  observation  post.  The  ambushing  party  was  not  less  than 
twenty  strong,  under  the  command  of  an  officer,  who  demanded 
that  the  two  men  surrender.  The  men  refused,  and  a  hand-to- 
hand  fight  ensued,  with  the  result  that  Brady  was  shot  and  killed, 
and  Corporal  Lane  was  shot  through  the  mouth,  but  escaped,

after  severely  wounding  the  German  officer  in  command  of  the 
raiding  party.  Hearing  the  sounds  of  scuffling,  men  of  Company 
M,  llSth  Infantry,  occupying  a  dugout  nearby,  ran  up  and 
succeeded  in  driving  off  the  raiders  who  were  attempting  to  carry 
away  with  them  the  body  of  Private  Brady.  The  arrival  of  these 
men  likewise  prevented  the  enemy  from  getting  the  identification 
which  he  sought. 

We  Retaliate. 

On  August  31st,  retaliation  for  these  losses  was  accomplished 
in  part  by  the  raid  undertaken  by  Company  K,  115th  Infantry 
assisted  by  a  French  artillery  detachment,  with  six  inch  mortars. 
The  raiding  party  comprised  over  100  picked  officers  and  men 
from  the  115th  Infantry,  under  the  command  of  Captain  Brooke 
Lee,  of  Maryland,  with  1st  Lieutenant  Chandler  Sprague,  of  the 
same  state,  as  second  in  command.  With  this  infantry  detach- 
ment had  been  trained  a  small  detachment  of  engineers;  and  the 
night  before  the  raid  they  were  reenforced  by  the  One-Pounder 
platoon  of  the  116th  Infantry,  under  command  of  Lieutenant 
Marvin  Menefee,  of  Virginia,  and  a  squad  of  infantrymen  from 
the  Third  Battalion  of  the  116th  Infantry,  in  whose  sector  the 
raid  was  to  take  place.  One  of  the  participants  tells  the^  story  in 
these  words. 

'^  For  several  weeks  past,  a  raiding  party,  composed  of  men  from  the 
3rd  Battalion  had  been  practicing  for  a  raid  on  the  Germans. 
The  object  of  the  raid  was  to  capture  prisoners  and  to  seciue  informa- 
tion as  to  the  morale  and  disposition  of  the  enemy's  troops.  The 
men  from  Company  *K',  who  were  selected  for  this  raiding  party, 
were  to  be  the  ones,  who  were  actually  to  engage  the  enemy  and 
secure  prisoners.  The  men  from  the  other  three  companies  in  the 
Third  Battalion  were  to  form  covering  parties  and  conduct  the 
prisoners  to  the  rear.  The  raid  was  carefully  planned,  each  man 
having  a  special  duty  allotted  him.  The  raiders  took  a  great  deal 
of  interest  in  their  work  and  soon  became  proficient  enough  to  carry 
out  the  raid.  The  date  originally  set  was  the  19th  of  August  but 
the  orders  were  recalled,  and  the  raid  was  actually  carried  out  on 
the  morning  of  August  31st. 

"The  raiding  party  left  the  P.  C.  of  Company  I,  116th  Infantry 
at  1  A.M.  One  group  led  the  way  going  through  P.  P.*  1  (day)

up  a  position  in  skirmish  line  about  100  yards  from  the  end  of  the 
trench  in  the  direction  of  the  objective,  covering  the  rear  of  the 
raiding  party  as  they  were  brought  up  into  position  at  3:15. 

"All  the  watches  of  the  raiding  party  had  been  synchronized  with 
Major  Markey's  at  Company  *I'  P.  C.  At  4:36  the  preliminary 
bombardment  began.  This  was  to  last  five  minutes  and  at  4:41 
the  trench-mortar  shells  began  to  land  in  the  enemy  wire.  Several 
of  these,  on  the  left  flank,  fell  short.  The  party  was  about  250  yards 
from  the  objective  and  some  of  the  shells  fell  about  60  yards  from 
the  left  flank.  After  the  wire  destruction  had  progressed  four 
minutes,  Captain  Lee  allowed  another  minute  for  the  artillery  to 
start  its  rolling  barrage  and  then  gave  the  order  to  get  behind  it. 
Almost  immediately  after,  he  was  forced  to  countermand  it  as  the 
trench-mortar  shells  were  still  falling  short  in  front.  After  waiting 
three  minutes  more  the  party  started.  As  they  reached  the  wire 
the  artillery  was  falling  in  its  proper  place  on  the  enemy  line  of 
resistance  with  marked  effect,  but  the  trench-mortars  were  still 
falling  on  the  wire.  Moving  forward  through  the  dense  haze  of  smoke 
from  the  mortar  shells  a  gap  was  discovered  on  the  left  of  the  objec- 
tive. As  the  party  started  to  move  through,  after  cutting  a  few 
necessary  strands  of  wire,  a  trench-mortar  shell  landed  directly  in 
their  midst  and  a  terrific  explosion  followed.  Several  men  were  blown 
up  in  the  air  by  the  concussion.  This  was  caused  by  the  explosion 
of  a  strip  of  T.  N.  T.  which  was  carried  by  a  detachment  from  the 
104th  Engineers.  This  T.  N.  T.  was  to  have  been  used  in  blowing  up 
the  wire  in  case  the  artillery  had  not  opened  any  sufficiently  large 
gaps.  One  man  was  instantly  killed  but  could  not  be  identified 
as  there  was  not  light  enough.  Lieutenant  Sprague  was  leading 
his  group  through  the  wire  as  it  was  not  possible  for  him  to  proceed 
to  the  right  of  the  objective.  Captain  Lee  had  led  half  of  the  party 
through  the  left  gap  and  had  taken  them  on  down  to  the  front  line 
trench  on  the  right. 

"One  group  of  men  under  command  of  Captain  Lee  was  cleaning  up 
the  front  line  trench  while  the  other  group  under  Lieutenant  Sprague 
was  cleaning  out  a  small  connecting  trench  directly  behind.  Several 
shelters  and  dugouts  were  found.  The  men  investigated  them  as 
thoroughly  as  possible,  with  no  result.  There  seemed  to  be  very 
few  Germans  in  the  position.  Grenades  and  trench-mortar  shells 
were  thrown  in  the  dugouts  without  result  except  completely  destroy- 
ing them.  By  this  time  Captain  Lee  had  worked  back  to  the  third  line 
trench  without  meeting  any  of  the  enemy.  A  German  machine  gun 
blown  from  its  foundation  was  lying  to  one  side.  This  gun  was 
brought  back  to  our  lines  through  the  barrage  by  a  sergeant  from 
the  machine  gun  company.  The  men  from  the  raiding  party  walked 
about  on  top  and  in  the  German  trenches  without  opposition  from 
that  sector  or  either  of  the  neighboring  sectors.    By  this  time  the

withdrawal  signal  was  expected  and  two  details  of  men  were  sent 
out  to  the  wire  to  stand  at  possible  gaps  and  prepare  the  withdrawal. 
The  German  counter  barrage  opened  up  in  a  few  minutes  falling 
almost  in  front  of  their  wire  with  good  accuracy.  Sergeant  Gerk 
and  Corporal  Dorsey  of  Company  K  discovered  three  Germans 
lurking  in  the  shadow  of  a  small  connecting  trench  leading  from  the 
second  to  the  third  trench  lines.  Corporal  Dorsey  who  was  in  front 
was  shot  in  the  stomach  by  one  of  the  Germans  and  as  he  fell, 
Sergeant  Gerk  lunged  over  him  burying  his  bayonet  in  the  German's 
breast,  pinning  him  to  the  ground.  The  bayonet  broke  and  as  he 
was  unable  to  extricate  it  he  left  it  there  and  started  in  pursuit  of  the 
other  Germans  who  ran.  Captain  Lee  meanwhile  had  sent  up  the 
withdrawal  rocket  from  the  enemy  third  line  trench.  As  Gerk  saw 
this  he  abandoned  the  pursuit  after  hurling  several  grenades  at  his 
quarry. 

"  As  Captain  Lee  had  sent  up  the  pink  flare  the  men  under  Lieuten- 
ants Sprague  and  Phelps  moved  through  the  wire  to  support  him 
with  their  Chauchat  automatics.  The  Chauchat  group  on  the  left 
flank  was  intact  and  opened  fire  on  that  sector,  but  the  ones  on  the 
right  were  unable  to  fire  on  account  of  the  barrage.  The  enemy 
barrage  was  now  coming  down  in  full  force  and  it  was  impossible 
to  wiUidraw  through  it  without  suffering  casualties. 

"  Upon  reaching  the  old  French  trench  the  men  waited  until  they 
could  see  no  more  of  their  comrades  coming  in.  Lieutenant  Sprague 
and  Private  Owens  (missing  in  action)  attempted  to  work  through 
the  barrage  to  connect  witli  P.  P.^  1  but  failed  owing  to  the  enemy 
shells  that  were  hitting  in  it  with  great  frequency.  They  again 
made  the  attempt  and  succeeded  in  getting  through  by  watching 
their  chances  between  bursts.  Corporal  Dorsey  had  died  after 
having  been  brought  in  on  the  back  of  Sergeant  Gerk.  Captain 
Lee  remained  in  tiie  shell  hole  with  one  wounded  and  several  un- 
wounded  non-conmiissioned  officers,  having  decided  that  it  would 
not  be  possible  to  attempt  to  remove  the  wounded  man  under  the 
intense  Grerman  machine  gim  barrage.  Having  ordered  three  or 
four  others  to  return  as  not  being  needed,  he  told  them  that  it 
was  probable  that  he  would  not  be  able  to  get  in  until  night  but  that 
he  had  plenty  of  cover  and  was  in  no  immediate  danger.  An  attempt 
was  made  to  fire  a  counter  barrage  in  an  endeavor  to  enable  him  to 
return  to  our  lines. 

"At  this  time  groans  were  heard  coming  from  about  50  yards  away 
from  the  trench.    Lieutenant  Sprague^  and  Private  Frank  Fleisch-

man^  went  out  to  bring  the  man  in.  While  they  were  working  their 
way  through  the  wire  which  was  very  thick  at  this  spot,  an  enemy 
sniper  opened  up  on  them  from  about  50  yards  away  using  single 
shot  from  an  automatic  rifle.  The  two  men  were  obliged  to  midce 
short  dashes  from  shell  hole  to  shell  hole  calling  on  the  wounded  man 
repeatedly  for  direction.  He  was  a  man  from  Company  *M*  who 
was  not  identified  at  that  time  and  with  him  was  Private  Davis, 
Company  I,  115th  Infantry,  dead.  The  latter  was  frightfully 
mangled  and  evidently  had  been  instantly  killed  by  a  direct  hit  of 
shrapnel  shell.  The  two  men,  between  diem,  managed  to  get  the 
wounded  man  into  a  near  by  abandoned  trench  where  several  other 
men  appeared.  They  enlisted  their  aid  and  turned  him  over  to 
them,  going  back  to  our  trench  to  find  a  stretcher.  The  sniper  opened 
fire  on  them  again  and  was  joined  by  another  directly  in  their  rear. 
A  bullet  whizzed  by  Lieutenant  Sprague,  and  Private  Fleischman 
said  '  be  careful.  Lieutenant,  he  has  just  gotten  me '.  The  Lieutenant 
looked  around  and  saw  Fleischman  lying  in  a  pool  of  blood,  a  bullet 
having  pierced  through  both  of  his  legs.  Private  Fleischman  was 
carried  back  on  a  stretcher,  but  later  died  in  the  hospital  at  Belfort. 
The  Lieutenant  saw  the  sniper  moving  around  about  ^  yards  away, 
and  fired  at  him  twice  with  his  automatic  pistol,  either  killing  him 
or  driving  him  away  as  he  gave  no  more  trouble.  Privates  Walter 
Lowe  and  Glen  Owens  disappeared  sometime  during  the  raid  and 
were  never  found  again.  They  were  either  taken  prisoners  or  blown 
to  pieces.  Patrols  searched  every  part  of '  No  Man's  Land '  but  were 
unable  to  find  any  trace  of  them.  Sergeant  John  W.  Saxon,  Corporal 
John  Elliott,  Privates  James  Raney,  William  Dryden,  John  Daley, 
Ralph  Johnson,  Matthews  Sinnott  and  Mechanic  Marcel  Zimmerman 
were  wounded  in  action  in  this  raid.  This  raid  was  a  failure  from  a 
military  standpoint  as  there  were  no  prisoners  captured,  but  it  was 
not  the  fault  of  our  raiding  parties  for  there  were  no  Germans  there 
to  be  captured.  Lieutenant  Chandler  Sprague  was  awarded  the 
D.  S.  C.  and  several  other  men  were  awarded  Division  Citations 
for  their  meritorious  conduct." 

The  raid  had  been  against  a  re-entrant  in  the  enemy's  lines, 
known  as  the  Kieser  Vorwerck,  and  had  been  planned  not  only 
for  the  purpose  of  capturing  prisoners  and  thus  determining  the 
identity  of  the  enemy  units  opposite  us,  but  also  for  the  purpose 
of  inculcating  the  offensive  spirit  in  our  men.  Beginning  at  6 
o'clock  our  trench-mortars  had  opened  a  destructive  fire  on  the 
enemy's  wire  for  half  an  hour,  and  then  a  box  barrage  had  been

laid  down  by  the  112th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  commanded  by 
Major  D.  John  Markey  and  employing  48  guns.  The  raid  was 
conducted  substantially  as  above  described.  The  reaction  of  the 
enemy  artillery  and  machine  guns  was  vigorous  and  deadly,  with 
the  result  that  fifty  of  the  party,  estimated  at  from  125  to  150, 
were  killed  or  wounded,  according  to  the  report  of  the  113th 
Ambulance  Company's  detachment.  This  detachment,  under 
the  command  of  Lieutenant  Posey,  rendered  excellent  service  to 
the  wounded.  Our  men  behaved  with  their  usual  gallantry,  but 
the  Germans  were  accustomed  to  hold  their  front  lines  by  a  series 
of  outposts  and  to  retire  upon  the  second  and  third  positions, 
successively,  in  the  event  of  a  raid.  Experienced  and  skilful 
as  they  were,  they  successfully  prevented  us  from  obtaining 
prisoners,  which  of  course  was  the  main  object  of  the  raid. 

llSih  Infantry  Makes  a  Raid. 

The  next  raid  undertaken  was  on  September  6th,  in  the  sector 
of  the  57th  Brigade.  The  Historians  of  Company  I,  113th 
Infantry,^  describe  it: 

"  During  August  the  enemy  raided  a  point  on  the  front  held  by  Com- 
pany H  of  this  Regiment,  inflicting  casualties,  and  on  the  24th  of 
the  same  month  one  man  of  the  8rd  Battalion  Intelligence  Section 
was  killed  and  two  were  seriously  wounded  while  taking  their 
positions  in  an  observation  post  out  in  front  of  our  front  line  trenches. 

"With  the  idea  of  avenging  the  death  of  these  men — ^men  who  had 
voluntarily  given  themselves  to  the  hazardous  work  of  the  Scout 
Platoon  and  Intelligence  Section, — and  for  the  purpose  of  capturing 
prisoners,  in  order  to  ascertain  the  identity  of  the  Hun  organization 
opposing  us,  a  raid  on  the  German  lines  was  planned.  To  this  end 
a  special  raiding  party  had  been  formed  on  August  25th,  the  nucleus 
of  which  was  the  Third  Battalion  Scouts,  reinforced  by  portions  of 
the  First  and  Second  Battalion  Scouts,  with  sufficient  volunteers 
from  the  companies  added — ^a  total  enlisted  strength  of  one  hundred. 

"  1st  Lieutenant  McMahon,  later  of  Company  I,  was  first  in  com- 
mand, with  1st  Lieutenant  Paulette  and  1st  Lieutenant  Brocher 
of  F  Company,  acting  under  him  and  Lieutenant  Derrickson  of 
L  Company,  as  Supply  Officer. 

"  After  preliminary  instruction  of  the  new  men  under  Sergeant  Carr, 
of  this  Company,  a  systematic  intensive  course  of  training  for  the 
company  raid  was  carried  on  at  Retzwiller,  several  kilometers  in 

Ist  Lieutenant  Wm.  G.  Phillips  and  Sergeant  Wm.  F.  Hopkins.

rear  of  the  lines.  Captain  Lee,  of  the  115th  Infantry,  by  reason  of 
his  recent  experience  in  a  similar  operation,  was  in  charge  of  this 
training,  and  Major  de  Czemowitz  of  the  French  Army  lent  valuable 
aid.  The  practice  occupied  several  days  (and  nights)  and  was  the 
object  of  the  personal  interest  of  Colonel  Jones,  conunanding  the 
113th  Infantry,  of  Colonel  Reckord,  then  commanding  the  57th 
Brigade,  and  of  General  Morton,  all  of  whom  were  present  during 
this  period.  Everything  possible  was  done  to  insure  the  success 
of  the  raid;  aerial  photos  of  the  sectors  to  be  raided  were  obtained, 
and  a  terrain  chosen  which  closely  represented  that  of  the  unlucky 
German  lines.  Trenches  were  represented  by  tape  lines,  and  each 
man  knew  exactly  where  to  go  and  what  to  do.  Everyone  was 
supplied  with  an  automatic  pistol  with  ammunition,  a  trench  knife 
and  a  grenade  carrier  filled  with  gas,  smoke  and  offensive  grenades. 
Certain  men  carried  ordinary  rifles;  others,  automatic  rifles,  and 
several  pairs  of  wire  cutters  were  in  the  party.  Of  course,  everybody 
wore  helmets  and  gas  masks.  All  possible  secrecy  was  observed 
as  the  section  was  infested  with  German  sympathizers  and  spies. 
On  the  morning  of  September  3rd  all  non-commissioned  officers  of 
the  Platoon  went  to  the  front  with  Lieutenants  McMahon  and 
Paulette,  and  spent  the  day  looking  over  the  ground  from  observation 
posts.  That  night  the  entire  party  went  out  on  a  patrol  over  the 
ground  to  further  familiarize  themselves  with  its  nature. 

''The  platoon  was  divided  into  groups,  each  under  command  of  an 
officer  or  non-commissioned  officer,  and  each  with  a  certain  definite 
part  of  the  job  assigned  to  it,  and  with  a  definite  section  of  the  enemy 
territory  to  cover.  If  prisoners  were  captured  in  the  first  or  second 
line  trench,  the  mission  of  the  raiders  was  to  have  been  considered 
completed  and  the  party  to  return  to  their  own  lines  with  all  speed, 
in  order  to  avoid  danger  from  the  inevitable  return  barrage  from  the 
enemy  artillery.  If  necessary  they  w^ere  to  continue  on  to  the  third 
line,  and  in  any  case  were  to  leave  the  area  at  the  end  of  15  minutes, 
at  the  blast  of  a  whistle  from  Lieutenant  McMahon.  This  signal 
was  also  to  be  given  in  the  event  the  capture  of  prisoners  was  reported 
to  the  raid  commander  at  any  period  before  the  expiration  of  the  time 
limit. 

"Sergeant  Carr  was  in  charge  of  a  party  of  fourteen,  which  had  as 
its  ultimate  objective  a  sector  at  the  extreme  rear  of  the  left  flank 
covering  parallel  and  communicating  trenches  over  a  wide  area. 
The  entire  front  covered  by  the  raid  was  250  meters. 

"Preparations  had  been  made  for  an  intense  barrage  to  cover  the 
raiders.  The  French  had  laid  Trench-Mortars  in  our  woods  just  back 
of  the  front  lines,  the  use  of  which  was  to  demolish  the  German  wire, 
to  facilitate  the  entry  of  the  Scouts  into  the  trenches.  French 
75 's  were  to  furnish  a  moving  barrage  behind  which  the  party  would 
advance,  guns  of  a  heavier  calibre  at  the  same  time  playing  on  the 

I  118] 


IISTH  INFANTRY  MAKES  A  RAID 

trenches  and  rear  areas,  to  cut  off  the  retreat  of  the  Boche  and 
prevent  reinforcements  coming  forward.  The  flanks  were  to  be 
covered  by  intensive  machine  gun  fire  for  the  same  purpose,  furnished 
by  the  111th  Machine  Gun  Battalion.  A  detachment  of  the  104th 
Engineers  was  with  the  party  to  open  a  way  through  the  wire  with 
T.  N.  T.  and  wire  cutters,  in  case  the  trench-mortars  had  not  suflS- 
dently  demolished  it.  Extensive  preparations  were  made  by  the 
Medical  Corps  of  the  Regiment  to  perform  its  part  of  the  job; 
dressing  stations  were  established  in  a  shell-proof  dugout  and 
ambulances  were  on  hand  to  carry  the  wounded  to  the  rear. 

"Singly,  quietly,  attracting  the  least  possible  attention  (for  the 
success  of  the  venture  depended  upon  secrecy)  the  men  chosen  for 
the  mission,  assembled  at  a  quiet  point  along  the  canal  outside 
of  Retzweller  at  8:30  p.m.  Friday,  September  6Ui,  1918,  armed  with 
their  weapons  of  destruction  and  accouterments  for  personal  pro- 
tection. Few  words  were  spoken.  The  auto  trucks  that  carried 
them  to  the  front  rolled  out  of  Retzwiller  at  2:15  turned  eastward 
and  the  expedition  into  Hunland  was  on  its  way.  The  night  was 
dark,  all  curtains  of  the  trucks  were  down,  no  smoking  was  permitted, 
and  the  trip  was  made  in  silence.  Just  outside  of  Badricourt,  some 
four  kilometers  from  the  trenches,  the  trucks  came  to  a  stand.  The 
Scouts  formed  on  the  road,  and  in  columns  of  twos  grimly  made 
their  way  through  the  town  of  Badricourt,  passed  the  challenging 
sentries,  and  on  to  the  road  beyond  that  led  to  the  front.  In  each 
man's  breast  was  a  feeling  he  could  not  analyze.  It  was  certainly 
not  fear — not  with  anyone  of  this  band — hardly  apprehension, 
rather  a  suppressed  excitement  and  yet  a  feeling  of  uncertainty 
inevitable  upon  the  eve  of  such  a  ventiure,  which  was  to  be  the  first 
actual  encounter  with  the  enemy. 

"Silently,  steadily,  they  moved  onward,  through  the  dead,  unin- 
habited, shell-torn  country,  and  into  the  thick  dark  woods  behind 
the  trenches;  along  the  shadowy  trails  they  went  in  single  file, 
guided  by  wires  strung  to  the  trees,  each  man  in  touch  with  his  leader. 
No  word  was  spoken,  as  slowly  they  emerged  from  the  woods  at 
Observation  Post  67A,  and  in  the  deep  darkness  of  1  a.m.,  worked 
their  way  stealthily  out  into  No  Man's  Land,  crouching,  crawling 
a  step  at  a  time,  to  insure  that  the  enemy  would  not  hear  and  get 
an  inkling  of  what  was  impending. 

"About  half  way  across  the  desolate  waste  of  land  between  the 
wires  of  the  opposing  lines,  where  a  sound  might  cause  exposure 
by  German  flares  and  draw  the  fire  of  German  machine  guns  or 
snipers,  out  there  behind  a  protecting  rise  in  the  ground,  the  Scouts 
went  through  their  'drill'  once  more,  and  in  perfect  order  divided 
themselves  into  groups  and  took  their  respective  positions  in 
readiness  for  the  attack,  lying  flat  on  the  ground.  It  was  cold  wait- 
ing; the  chill  of  the  night  got  into  their  bones,  but  in  spite  of  it  all 

[119] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

they  must  lay  absolutely  quiet.  A  sound  could  render  useless  all 
their  efforts,  and  bring  destruction  upon  them  before  their  mission 
had  really  begun.  Many  of  the  men  went  to  sleep  out  in  No  Man's 
Land,  and  were  kept  awake  with  difficulty  by  their  group  leaders. 

"  Zero  hour  was  4 :45  and  the  raiders  moved  slowly  forward,  behind 
the  walls  of  bursting  shells,  which  lifted  and  went  ahead  a  specified 
distance  at  regular  intervals — the  creeping  barrage  that  protected 
them  from  the  enemy's  fire.  They  had  been  told  that  they  could 
follow  the  barrage  safely  at  100  yards,  as  it  was  being  shot  from 
75's,  the  most  accurate  artillery  fire  known  to  warfare.  But  the 
heads  of  the  groups  were  up  to  within  40  to  50  yards  of  that  wall  of 
death,  and  it  is  a  tribute  to  the  French  75's  and  to  the  gunners  who 
handled  them  that  it  proved  to  be  a  safe  distance. 

"In  tlie  meantime,  the  heavier  guns  were  playing  on  the  trenches 
and  rear  areas,  and  the  trench-mortars  were  tearing  away  the  wire. 
Even  above  the  deafening  din  of  the  artillery  was  heard,  the  sharp 
insistent  'put-put-put-put-put'  of  the  machine  ^uns  forming  a  sheet 
of  bullets  on  either  side  of  the  party,  protectmg  their  fianks  like 
an  impassable  wall. 

"It  was  practically  impossible  to  carry  out  the  plan  as  practiced. 
There  were  no  trenches.  The  destruction  was  absolute,  and  instead 
of  the  trench  lines  they  had  expected  to  encounter,  the  Scouts  met 
shell  hole  after  shell  hole,  heaps  of  earth  and  projecting  duck-boards 
and  wire,  which  impeded  individual  progress  and  made  extremely 
difficult  the  task  of  keeping  groups  together.  Each  group  leader  was 
compelled  to  act  on  his  own  initiative,  following  only  as  a  general 
direction,  the  original  plan  of  attack. 

"  Lieutenant  McMahon  took  his  position  in  a  quarry,  at  the  bottom 
of  which  was  a  dugout  and  also  a  tunnel  leading  to  the  rear.  Sergeant 
Carr  with  what  remained  of  his  group,  including  Corporal  Schwember 
and  Privates  Pray,  Bly  and  Kurzynski,  attempted  to  get  around  the 
left  of  the  quarry  to  his  objective,  but  encountered  an  organized 
shell  hole,  surrounded  with  barbed  wire,  which  had  miraculously 
escaped  demolition.  And  it  was  occupied  by  a  living  Boche.  What 
he  was  armed  with,  the  uncertain  light  of  early  dawn  and  bursting 
shells  would  not  permit  them  to  see  at  a  casual  glance.  It  was 
impossible  to  take  him  prisoner.  The  barbed  wire  made  an  impass- 
able  barrier  and  there  was  absolutely  no  time  for  argument.  There 
was  only  one  alternative  to  capturing  him,  and  that  was  kill  him, 
before  he  did  any  damage.  This  was  quickly  and  effectively  accom- 
plished by  two  shots  from  Carr's  45  and  a  couple  of  grenades, 
thrown  by  Kurzynski,  to  ensure  a  complete  job. 

"The  Hun  was  gone  but  his  barrier  remained,  and  this  group  started 
back  around  the  right  of  the  quarry,  as  the  only  way  to  their  objec- 
tive. On  the  way  *  Heinie '  Bley  lost  his  footing  and  slid  to  Uie  bottom 
of  the  quarry  where  he  got  into  action  again.    The  entrance  to  the 

[  120  ] 


113TU  INFANTRY  MAKES  A  RAID 

dugout  was  partially  blocked;  there  was  room  enough  however,  for 
a  man  to  crawl  out,  and  there  were  Germans  inside  who  refused  to 
come  out.  Bley  spoke  German  like  the  Kaiser  himself,  and  at  once 
opened  negotiations  with  them  in  their  own  language.  They  replied 
with  some  very  uncomplimentary  remarks,  and  gave  the  impression 
that  they  did  not  intend  coming  out.  Heinie  took  them  at  their 
word  and  to  make  it  a  certainty  that  they  would  not  come  out  ever, 
threw  his  entire  collection  of  grenades  (offensive,  gas  and  smoke) 
into  the  dugout.    More  Huns  killed,  but  still  no  prisoners! 

"  Every  man  was  eagerly  pursuing  his  task.  They  remembered  the 
recent  deaths  of  their  comrades  and  were  for  revenge.  The  terrible 
bombardment  had  robbed  them  of  most  of  their  prey,  and  had  made 
a  place  where  no  living  thing  could  remain  alive,  except  by  the 
merest  chance.  The  section  of  the  German  trenches  chosen  for  the 
'strafing'  was  a  place  of  absolute  destruction,  an  inferno,  indeed. 
The  whistle  signal  blew,  and  was  at  once  repeated  by  every  man  with 
a  whistle,  and  in  spite  of  the  noise  of  shell  and  machine  gun  fire, 
was  recognized  by  all.  The  return  journey  began  at  a  run,  or  as 
near  it  as  was  physically  possible.  Everyone  fell  tripping  over  wire. 
Leg^ns  became  unwrapped,  adding  to  the  difficulty.  The  auto- 
matic rifles  became  heavy  to  their  bearers.  Jimmie  Pray,  later  killed 
in  action,  east  of  the  Meuse,  became  exhausted  and  fell.  A  comrade 
lifted  him  to  his  feet,  and  carried  the  rifle  that  burdened  him  down» 
and  helped  him  hurry  across  No  Man's  Land  to  safety. 

"  Back  through  the  lane  in  our  barbed-wire  just  as  dawn  was  break- 
ing! The  enemy  was  coming  back  with  his  expected  barrage.  He  wasn't 
sure  just  which  way  the  raiders  were  gomg,  and  in  his  frenzy  lit 
up  No  Man's  Land  and  our  woods  with  countless  rockets  and  flares 
of  every  description.  His  lights  were  a  valuable  aid  to  the  party  in 
finding  their  way  quickly  through  the  woods  but  were  evidently  of 
little  use  to  him.  He  felt  out  No  Man's  Land  and  the  woods  with 
a  shot  here  and  there,  trusting  to  luck  that  it  would  reach  a  mark. 
But  he  was  wild  and  by  the  time  he  had  opened  up  properly,  which 
he  did  later,  every  man  was  down  in  the  shell-proof  which  was  fitted 
up  as  a  first  aid  station. 

"Everybody  excited,  exhausted,  thirsty,  dirty,  and  with  torn 
clothing!  Practically  everyone  with  some  wire  cuts!  Three  men 
wounded,  one  severely,  but  not  f ataDy — and  not  one  dead.  And  not  a 
casualty  of  any  sort  from  I  Company. 

"  When  the  Hun  bombardment  ceased  the  Scouts  emerged  from  the 
dugout  and  proceeded  to  retrace  their  steps  along  the  road  to  Badri- 
court.  The  trucks  were  there  waiting  to  carry  them  back  to  Betz- 
willer.  And  General  Morton  was  there  offering  his  personal 
congratulations  to  each  dirty,  bedraggled,  happy  man.  And  the 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  were  there,  handing  out  words  of  cheer  and  cigarettes. 
The  raid  was  over.  It  was  a  success  and  the  men  who  participated 
were  interested  right  then  only  in  a  wash,  a  feed,  and  a  sleep." 


CHAPTER  XXI. 

THE  FATEFUL  18tH  OF  SEPTEMBER — THE  QUIET  SECTOR  TAKES  ON  NEW 

LIFE. 


The  presence  of  spies  in  this  sector  in  great  numbers  was  not 
to  be  wondered  at,  since  there  were  an  enormous  number  of 
German  sympathizers  living  in  Alsace-Lorraine.  We  had  more 
than  one  proof  that  through  one  means  or  another  our  projected 
movements  were  communicated  to  the  enemy  with  a  speed  and 
with  an  efficiency  which  at  times  was  startling. 

The  most  striking  instance  of  this  sort  was  the  terrific  shelling 
of  Montreux-Chateau  on  the  night  of  September  13th,  which 
date  curiously  enough  saw  the  taking  of  all  assigned  objectives 
by  the  First  American  Army  in  its  attack  at  St.  Mihiel.  Probably 
the  news  of  the  accomplishment  of  our  forces  there  had  so  angered 
the  Boche  as  to  make  him  depart  from  his  time  honored  policy 
of  not  shelling  the  towns  in  this  sector,  except  in  retaliation  for  a 
town  of  equal  size  first  shelled  by  allied  forces;  or  possibly,  it  was 
the  realization  of  the  beginning  of  the  end,  a  reaUzation  that  the 
war  must  inevitably  end  in  the  defeat  of  the  German  armies,  and 
that  the  return  of  Alsace-Lorraine  to  France  would,  therefore,  result. 

In  any  event,  it  had  been  planned  to  move  the  offices  of  the 
Division  P.  C.  from  Montreux-Vieux  to  Montreux-Chateau,  at 
which  place  Division  Headquarters  were  stationed,  and  where 
were  located  also  certain  barracks  for  the  use  of  troops  at  rest. 
Just  after  midnight  on  the  night  of  Friday,  September  13-14th, 
a  terrific  bombardment  by  long  range  guns  was  begun,  during 
the  course  of  which  the  enemy  secured  a  direct  hit  in  the  center 
of  one  of  the  barracks  occupied  by  part  of  Company  L,  llSth 
Infantry.  Seven  men  of  that  company  were  instantly  killed,  and 
fifty-four  others  were  injured,  thirty  of  whom  had  to  be  evacuated 
to  the  hospital  in  the  rear.  Other  companies  suffered  casualties 
also. 

Captain  Claude  £.  McNenney,  in  command  of  the  Medical 
Detachment  of  the  104th  Field  Signal  Battalion,  quickly  estab- 
lished a  first  aid  station  in  a  nearby  caf6  and  promptly  rendered 
necessary  assistance  to  the  woimded. 

[  1««] 


THE  FATEFUL  13TH  OF  SEPTEMBER 

The  Signal  Battalion,  also  occupying  barracks  at  Montreux- 
Chateau,  was  quickly  formed  up  and  marched  into  the  outskirts 
of  the  village  until  the  bombardment  was  ended.  To  make 
matters  worse  as  the  troops  were  being  conducted  away  from  the 
doomed  barracks,  German  aviators  were  sweeping  the  streets  and 
roads  of  the  village  with  machine  gun  fire. 

The  account  of  the  historians  of  Company  M,  113  th  Infantry S 
one  of  the  companies  suffering  fatalities,  follows: 

"Everyone  was  soundly  asleep,  when  suddenly  a  terrific  crash  was 
heard,  and  pieces  of  shrapnel  fell  on  the  roof  and  the  sheeting  on  the 
sides  of  the  barrack.  Half  dazed,  we  arose  and  waited  a  moment, 
not  fully  realizing  just  what  had  taken  place.  A  second  terrible 
crash  came,  filling  the  barrack  with  smoke  and  powder  and  fairly 
shaking  the  building  from  its  foundations.  Without  further 
delay,  we  made  our  exit  into  the  open,  and  there  before  us  was 
one  of  the  most  gruesome  sights  that  could  be  imagined.  Bodies 
were  torn  and  rent  in  every  conceivable  manner.  Groans  and  cries 
were  issuing  from  the  wreckage  of  two  barracks.  A  shell  had  struck 
one  of  them  squarely  in  the  middle,  totally  demolishing  it,  while 
shrapnel  and  concussion  had  destroyed  the  other.  Heavy  pieces 
of  iron  were  twisted  in  all  shapes.  The  injured  were  given  immediate 
attention,  but  not  before  several  had  died  of  their  injuries. 

"In  several  instances,  shrapnel  had  ripped  clothes  hanging  on  the 
walls,  never  touching  the  possessor  lying  on  the  floor  a  few  inches 
below.  Leo  Leibson's  gas  mask  which  lay  at  his  head  was  riddled 
and  torn,  while  he  escaped  without  a  scratch. 

"Investigation  showed  that  seven  had  been  killed  and  fifty-four 
wounded,  Uiirty  of  whom  were  sent  to  the  hospital.  Most  of  the 
casualties  were  members  of  Company  L,  there  being  only  three  men 
from  Company  M  injured,  Privates  Wiles,  Karlson  and  Bose.  The 
two  last  named  were  obliged  to  go  to  the  hospital.  The  removal  of 
the  injured  was  a  dangerous  task,  for  the  Germans  had  the  correct 
range  of  the  place  and  there  was  no  telling  when  another  shell  or 
two  might  come  over.  Fortunately,  none  did,  except  a  few  which 
damaged  one  or  two  of  the  houses  in  the  town  and  a  canal  bridge 
between  Montreux-Jeune  and  Montreux-Chateau. 

"Mr.  Woodring,  the  battalion  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Secretary,  rendered 
especially  valuable  services,  in  the  hazardous  work  of  admin- 
istering to  the  dying  and  caring  for  the  wounded. 

"  Some  of  us  assembled  in  cellars,  where  most  of  the  French  civilians 
congregated,  while  others  stayed  in  the  open  fields.  It  was  the  first 
time  that  Montreux-Chateau  had  ever  been  shelled  by  artiUery,  so 
consequently  the  inhabitants  were  somewhat  worried,  for  they  well

[  123  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

knew  the  fate  of  many  of  their  other  towns.    It  was  thought  that 
the  shelling  came  from  Altkirch,  about  12  kilometers  distant. 

"  Gener«J  Upton  viewed  the  wreckage.  He  spoke  to  us  and  assured 
us  that  'opportunity  would  come  to  give  the  Boche  hell  for  this'. 
We  did." 

The  historian  of  Company  I,  113th  Infantry,  thus  congratu- 
lates himself  that  not  a  man  of  his  company  had  been  injured: 

"The  fact  that  we  were  sleeping  on  the  floors  prevented  casualties. 
This  was  our  first  experience  with  the  Boche  long  range  guns, 
and  the  boys  all  agreed  that  we  would  much  rather  meet  him  in 
hand  to  hand  combat  than  to  remain  here  and  take  it  all  without 
any  return  below.  It  was  something  to  remember  and  each  one  of 
us  bided  his  time.  The  Boche  should  pay  dearly  for  the  suffering 
and  the  death  he  caused  this  night." 

The  Quiet  Sector  Takes  on  New  Life. 

Preparatory  to  the  advance  of  the  First  American  Army  at 
St.  Mihiel,  orders  had  been  issued  directing  numerous  raids  to  be 
made  by  our  division,  not  only  to  hold  in  line  troops  that  otherwise 
might  be  transferred  to  the  St.  Mihiel  sector,  but  also  to  determine 
immediately  when  such  troops  were  removed  from  one  place  to 
another.  Furthermore,  we  had  been  ordered  to  make  the  enemy 
think  that  several  divisions  were  being  massed  on  this  front.  We, 
therefore,  borrowed  from  the  French  additional  wireless  sets,  and 
laid  out  an  entirely  new  net  work  of  wireless  posts  in  such  manner 
as  to  indicate  the  presence  of  an  additional  division,  or  even  a 
corps  in  this  area.  To  increase  this  impression  new  and  additional 
code  words  were  adopted.  As  a  result  of  these  efforts  on  our  part, 
and  as  a  result  further  of  the  success  of  our  troops  on  the  St. 
^lihiel  front,  our  sector  soon  took  on  new  life. 

Following  the  bombardment  of  our  Headquarters  on  Septem- 
ber 13th,  the  enemy  began  using  an  enormous  number  of  gas 
shells  in  his  daily  bombardments.  As  a  result,  the  division  suffered 
heavily  in  gas  casualties.  Of  the  923  casualties  while  in  the  Alsace 
Sector,  586  were  from  gas. 

The  activity  of  the  German  air  men,  which  always  had  seemed 
unusually  great,  likewise  became  redoubled.  Not  alone  did  they 
keep  our  front  lines  and  our  rear  areas  under  observation  through- 
out the  day,  but  in  addition  never  a  clear  night  passed  but  they 
watched  every  road  in  our  back  areas  for  the  presence  of  incoming 
troops  and  nightly  subjected  the  roads  in  the  neighborhood  of 

[1«4] 


QUIET  SECTOR  TAKES  ON  NEW  LIFE 

the  regimentaU  brigade  and  division  headquarters  to  a  combing 
process  with  their  machine  guns. 

Of  retaUation  there  now  could  be  little.  Plans  for  battalion 
raids  which  we  had  been  directed  to  make  weekly  were  cut  short 
by  the  receipt  of  orders  directing  the  withdrawal  of  the  division, 
preparatory  to  its  movement  to  a  new  sector. 

No  account  of  the  life  of  the  division  in  the  Alsace  Sector 
would  be  complete  without  some  mention  of  the  work  of  the 
Signal  troops.  In  modem  warfare  the  necessity  for  rapid  and 
accurate  means  of  conmiunication  is  vital,  and  no  one  method 
of  communication,  however  well  developed  it  may  be,  can  be 
relied  upon  solely.  It  therefore  became  the  duty  of  the  Division 
Signal  OflScer  to  formulate  a  plan  of  liaison,  contemplating  the 
possible  use  of  every  form  of  communication  under  control  of  the 
division.  While  no  detailed  or  technical  description  of  the  various 
mechanical  means  employed  can  be  given,  a  brief  outline  of  the 
large  work  which  the  Signal  Corps  troops  were  called  upon  to 
perform  in  the  sector,  is  proper  at  this  point.  Company  B,  104th 
Field  Signal  Battalion,  the  "Wire  Company",  constructed  and 
maintained  a  complete  telephone  system  throughout  the  area. 
Sergeant  Herbert  A.  Cady  and  a  selected  detail  of  the  company 
had  charge  of  the  maintenance  and  construction  of  the  new  lines, 
which  ran  through  every  French  telephone  oflBce  in  the  Belfort 
district,  and  extended  as  far  as  Remiremont,  70  kilometers  away, 
where  were  located  the  headquarters  of  our  5th  Army  Corps. 
The  work  of  Lieutenant  Hawkins,  of  Company  B,  in  locating  a 
loose  connection  on  the  main  line,  which  both  the  Signal  Corps 
men  of  the  32nd  United  States  Division  and  the  French  Engineers 
had  failed  to  find,  enabled  us  to  have  practically  perfect  service 
after  the  first  month. 

The  radio  sets  were  installed  and  operated  by  Company  A, 
the  "Radio  Wireless  Company".  Small  portable  wireless  sets 
were  used  for  communication  from  regimental  headquarters  with 
a  similar  set  at  each  brigade  headquarters.  The  latest  type  of 
continuous  wave  sets,  which  are  very  reliable  for  sending  messages 
any  distance  up  to  ten  miles,  were  used  at  Brigade  and  Division 
Headquarters.  This  type  permitted  communication  in  any 
direction,  with  a  minimum  amount  of  interference. 

The  company  also  operated  a  few  posts  of  T.  P.  S.  {telegrwphie 
par  sol )  from  the  Company  P.  C.*s,  in  the  forward  area  to  the 

[  125]    , 


BtSTORY  OF  THE  TWENTYNINTH  DIVISION 

Battalion  P.  C/s  further  in  the  rear.  The  T.  P.  S.  was  a  develop- 
ment of  trench  warfare  and  is  effective  up  to  two  miles,  the 
message  being  sent  by  the  dot  and  dash  code  as  in  wireless. 
Unfortunately,  the  messages  are  easily  interfered  with,  as  was  soon 
discovered.  Our  posts  would  no  sooner  start  sending  a  message 
than  the  receiving  operator  would  hear  it  drowned  out  by  a  loud 
rumbling  noise.  The  cause  was  soon  discovered:  in  the  German 
line  was  an  electric  lighting  plant  which  some  listening  German 
operator  would  connect  with  the  ground  when  he  heard  us  start 
sending  messages.  Our  only  recourse  was  to  send  our  messages 
in  code,  in  so  brief  a  time  that  he  could  not  interfere. 

The  Boche  also  employed  a  powerful  wireless  set  for  sending 
out  a  steady  note  to  act  upon  our  smaller  regimental  sets  and 
drown  out  messages.  Again,  short  code  messages  were  the  only 
solution  in  this  game  of  wits.  Both  sides  used  the  same  simple 
device,  the  "Goniometer",  for  locating  the  exact  position  on  the 
ground  of  the  opposite  radio  stations,  witliin  a  distance  of  thirty 
miles.  This,  of  course,  gave  a  definite  target  for  artillery  fire, 
and  at  the  same  time  disclosed  the  location  of  the  different  com- 
mand posts.  These  lessons  were  soon  learned,  however,  and  the 
radio  posts  were  established  some  distance  away  from  the  real 
posts  of  command. 

Company  C,  the  "Outpost  Company",  was  used  to  construct, 
maintain  and  supervise  technical  liaison  in  advance  of  regimental 
headquarters.  For  this  purpose  one  section  was  detailed  to  each 
infantry  regiment.  These  sections  handled  the  telephone  nets 
and  buzzer  phones  in  the  advance  zone.

CHAPTER  XXII. 


WK   ARE   RELIEVED   AND   JOURNEY   TOWARD   THE   BIG    FRONT — GENERAL 
ANDLAUER  EXPLAINS  THE  PLAN  OF  ATTACK — THE  CITADEL 

OF  VERDUN — THE  CITY  OP  VERDUN. 


In  a  few  days  came  the  inspiring  news  of  the  successful 
advance  of  the  First  American  Army  in  the  St.  Mihiel  Campaign. 
Our  desire  to  get  into  the  thick  of  the  fighting  grew  in  intensity. 
Orders  had  been  received  during  the  latter  part  of  August,  for 
our  withdrawal  from  the  line.  It  had  been  planned  to  effect  our 
relief  by  the  88th  Division,  which  had  recently  arrived  from  the 
States,  but  when  that  division  arrived  in  the  area  to  the  rear  of  us, 
it  was  found  that  the  men  were  insufficiently  equipped, — not 
even  having  enough  steel  helmets  and  gas  masks — ^and  were 
woefully  lacking  in  transportation.  Consequently,  plans  had  to 
be  changed,  and  a  considerable  delay  ensued.  Our  relief  was 
finally  effected  September  23rd,  by  the  38th  French  Division. 
Command  passed  at  ten  o'clock,  when  the  29th  Division  P.  C. 
closed  at  Montreux-Chateau  and  opened  at  Valdoie. 

Having  been  thus  relieved,  the  29th  Division  proceeded^  by 
long  and  laborious  stages  on  its  march  to  join  the  First  American 
Army  in  the  great  attack  which  was  to  be  launched  on  September 
26th  between  the  Meuse  River  and  the  Argonne  Forest.  Probably 
no  period  of  the  division's  history  will  be  recalled  more  vividly 
than  this  by  the  men  who  participated.  Usually  in  the  rain, 
concealing  themselves  in  the  woods  by  day,  getting  such  rest 
as  was  possible,  and  marching  throughout  the  night  to  other 
woods,  the  division  slowly  came  nearer  the  scene  of  activities. 
As  one  company  historian  described  it:  '"Then  began  a  series 
of  night  hikes  and  one  day  stands.'' 

^  In  accordance  with  Special  Orders  No.  81,  par.  1»  Headquarters  Ist  Army»  15  Sept.  18, 
the  division  was  ordered  to  move  by  rail  September  83rd  to  a  new  area,  detraining  at 
Robert  Espagne.  Upon  arrival  the  division  was  attached  to  the  Srd  American  Army 
Corps  and  reported  to  the  Commanding  General  of  the  8nd  French  Army. 
To  cany  out  this  move  Field  Orders  No.  18,  80th  Division,  were  issued.  (See 
Appendix  A.) 

By  Field  Order  15,  par.  1,  Headquarters  1st  Army,  17  Sept  18,  the  division  was 
assigned,  effective  noon  80th  September,  to  the  1st  American  Army  Corps.  By  Field 
Order  No.  18,  par.  8, 18  Sept.  18,  th«  division  was  relieved  from  assignment  to  the  1st 
Corps,  and  assigned  to  the  5th  Corps. 

(1«7] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

The  command  post  of  the  division  was  moved  from  Valdoie 
to  Conde  on  September  23rd,  and  from  Conde  to  St.  Andre  at 
eight  o'clock  September  30th,  and  from  St.  Andre  to  Blercourt 
at  eight  o'clock  October  1st.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  wherever 
the  division  halted  longer  than  one  night  a  telephone  system, 
utilizing  the  French  lines,  was  installed,  thus  giving  immediate 
communication  with  all  organizations. 

At  the  outset,  as  one  of  the  three  divisions  in  the  First  Army 
Reserve,  we  waited  patiently  in  sound  of  the  guns  for  the  order 
which  would  take  us  into  the  battle.  Preparatory  orders  were 
received  from  time  to  time  to  the  effect  that  we  would  go  first 
in  one  section  of  the  line,  then  in  another,  but  these  orders  never 
were  confirmed.  The  staff  worked  day  and  night  making  plans 
for  an  advance,  according  to  the  warning  order  last  received. 
Certainty,  however,  at  last  took  the  place  of  uncertainty.  On 
October  3rd  we  were  released*  as  army  reserves,  were  put  imder 
the  command  of  the  17th  French  Army  Corps  and  were  ordered 
to  move  from  Blercourt  toward  Verdun  to  go  into  the  line  on  the 
east  of  the  River  Meuse  for  an  attack  soon  to  be  launched  from  that 
point.  For  this  attack  the  158th  Field  Artillery  Brigade,  under 
Brigadier-General  Adrian  S.  Fleming,  was  attached  to  the  29th 
Division.  The  158th  Brigade  was  composed  of  the  322nd,  323rd, 
and  324th  Field  Artillery  Regiments,  commanded  respectively, 
by  Colonels  Augustus  B.  Warfield,  Louis  H.  McKdnlay  and 
Thomas  Q.  Ashbum^,  the  308th  Ammunition  Train,  commanded 
by  Lieutenant-Colonel  Otis  R.  Cole,  and  the  308th  Trench- 
Mortar  Battery,  commanded  by  Captain  Don  R.  McGill, 
D.  S.  C. 

October  4  th  found  Division  Headquarters  and  other  units 
temporarily  established  in  the  famous  old  citadel  of  Verdun  with 
the  infantry  of  the  division  bivouacked  or  billeted  in  nearby 
villages  and  woods. 

I  S.  O.  S42,  Headquarters  Ist  Army,  2nd  October,  relieved  the  division  (less  Engineers) 
from  duty  in  Ist  Army  Reserve  and  assigned  it  to  the  17th  French  Corps.  The  158th 
Field  Artillery  Brigade  was  relieved  from  duty  with  the  5th  Corps  and  attached  to 
the  29th  Division;  and  the  104th  Engineers  were  relieved  from  duty  with  the  5th 
Corps  and  ordered  to  rejoin  the  division  on  October  5th. 

In  accordance  with  the  above  Field  Order  10,  29th  Division,  was  issued.     (See 
Appendix  B.) 

*  From  October  1st  to  October  9th,  and  from  October  25th  to  November  1st,  Colonel 
Ashbum  commanded  the  Brigade  in  the  absence  of  General  Fleming,  and  Lieuten- 
ant-Colonel Harry  L.  Morse  commanded  the  S24th  Regiment.

JOURNEY  TOWARD  THE  BIO  FRONT 

Such  are  the  outlines  of  this  movement;  the  details  of  these 
and  succeeding  moves  are  well  told  by  the  company  historians 
of  Company  M,  113th  Infantry: 

"Wedne^ay^  September  18th:  It  was  announced  that  upon  making 
our  departure  for  the  town  of  Essert  our  packs  would  be  carried  in 
trucks,  and  that  all  we  would  have  to  carry  would  be  our  haversacks. 
It  was  almost  unbelievable.  Something  unusual  must  have  happened. 
Perhaps  the  army  had  gone  democratic,  or  maybe  it  was  another 
false  rumor;  but  no,  at  5  :dO  a.m.  trucks  were  on  hand,  and  so  were  we, 
and  by  6:00  a.m.  a  joyous  company  was  moving  to  another  town, 
unaccompanied,  for  the  first  time  in  its  existence,  by  the  heavy 
packs.  We  strolled  along  like  gentlemen  of  leisure,  thoroughly 
enjoying  our  sight-seeing  trip  of  twelve  or  fifteen  miles.  This  was 
our  farewell  to  Alsace,  to  which  we  never  returned.  We  reached 
Essert  at  3:00  p.m.  There  were  numerous  advantages  in  being 
located  here.  Situated  on  the  outskirts  of  Belfort,  access  to  that 
good  sized  city  wa.«  available.  That  is,  if  you  were  fortunate  enough 
to  obtain  a  pass.  The  billets  were  good,  the  town  quite  pleasant, 
and  the  people  unusually  hospitable. 

''Monday,  September  23rd^:  We  left  Essert  in  a  heavy  rainstorm  and 
marched  to  Bas  Evctte,  and  entrained  in  box  cars.  The  wet  and 
crowded  condition  of  the  cars  made  the  trip  very  uncomfortable 
and  was  very  unhealthy  for  the  men.  The  rain  beat  down  in  torrents 
the  following  day  as  we  detrained  at  a  railhead  near  SommervUle — 
Nettancourt.  We  hiked  to  a  wood  until  nearly  dark.  After  dark 
we  left  the  roads  and  marched  to  the  ruined  town  of  Louppy-le- 
Chateau  where  we  stopped  overnight  in  camouflaged  barracks. 
The  men  were  wet  to  the  skin  and  fell  into  a  sleep  of  exhaustion  upon 
their  packs. 

"Louppy-le-Chateau  was  almost  deserted  by  its  civil  population. 
We  stood  in  wonder  among  its  ruins.  What  could  be  the  purpose  of 
such  absolute  destruction?  The  grand  Cathedral  on  the  main  road» 
the  worshipping  place  of  the  once  peaceful  population,  now  was  a 
mass  of  ruins.  Not  a  single  house  showed  evidence  of  having  any- 
thing above  the  first  window  sill,  and  further  down  the  road  a 
group  of  German  prisoners  labored  to  rebuild  these  peasant  homes. 
One  could  not  help  think  that  if  the  same  men  worked  a  life  time  in 
this  one  town  alone,  they  could  never  cover  the  fact  that  the  greatest 
enemy  of  all  time  was  at  work  here. 

**  Wednesday,  September  25th^:  Our  stay  in  this  town  was  not  very 
long,  for  at  d:00  p.m.  the  company  fell  in  and  hiked  5  kilometers  to 
Louppy-le-Petit,  where  shelter  tents  were  pitched  in  a  nearby  woods.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Here  was  the  beginning  of  a  series  of  experiences  which  may  properiy 
be  called  hardships.  We  felt  the  truth  of  the  statement  of  General 
Pershing,  which  was  published  in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  huts:  'Hardship 
will  be  your  lot,  but  trust  in  God,  He  will  give  you  comfort.  Let 
your  valor  as  a  soldier  and  your  conduct  as  a  man  be  an  inspiration 
to  your  comrades  and  an  honor  to  your  country. ' 

"  Thursday^  September  26ih:  In  the  early  morning,  we  were  veiy  glad 
to  huddle  around  the  few  fires  and  talk  about  the  impending  drive, 
and  listen  to  the  reports  brought  from  the  front  by  aviators.  Great 
advances  were  reported.  Like  a  fellow  all  dressed  up  and  no  place 
to  go,  we  waited  around  all  day,  awaiting  orders  to  move,  but  none 
came.  In  the  early  evening,  in  order  to  be  ready  at  a  moment's 
notice,  the  regiment  assembled  near  the  road,  but  it  was  all  in  vain, 
for  after  pacing  up  and  down  the  road  trying  to  keep  warm,  until 
2  o'clock  in  the  morning,  we  were  stiJl  without  orders,  so  journeyed 
back  to  the  woods  to  repitch  tents. 

^^ Friday y  September  27th:  At  sunrise,  150  White  auto-trucks  were  lined 
up  on  the  road,  each  with  a  Hindo-Chinese  chauffeur  and  mechanic. 
This  looked  as  though  we  were  to  get  an  auto  ride  before  night,  and 
during  the  afternoon,  the  entire  regiment  boarded  the  cars,  but  found 
them  stationary  for  the  rest  of  the  day  and  night,  and  morning  found 
us  in  the  same  old  place.  With  16  men  in  a  car,  which  meant  being 
in  a  cramped  position,  conditions  were  not  of  the  best  for  sleeping. 
Perhaps  we  weren't  going  to  get  the  ride  after  all;  in  fact,  it  was  quite 
in  accord  with  past  manoeuvers  that  we  shouldn't. 

**  Saturday y  September  28th:  Nor  were  we  to  receive  anything  different 
this  day.  Another  night  in  our  auto  hotels  made  us  begin  to 
wonder  whether  those  heathen  pilots  possessed  sense  enough  to  get 
them  started. 

**  Sunday,  September  29th:  At  about  5:00  p.m.,  after  hanging  around 
all  day,  they  showed  us  they  could,  for  at  that  hour  we  were  dispossessed 
of  our  auto  hotels,  and  like  so  many  tramps  sat  beside  the  road, 
watching  the  machines  speed  away  without  us^  Anjrway,  we 
might  have  had  a  ride!  The  men  pitched  tents  in  a  nearby  field 
and  looked  forward  to  a  night's  rest  where  we  could  at  least  stretch 
ourselves,  without  having  to  be  contortionists.  Looking  forward 
to  such  a  rest,  however,  was  all  that  there  was  to  it,  for  at  7:80  in 
the  evening,  we  were  ordered  to  roll  packs  and  prepare  to  move. 
We  waited  around  a  couple  of  hours  without  receiving  definite 

>  These  trucks  were  kept  in  readiness,  while  we  were  in  Army  Reserve,  to  carry  us  to 
whatever  part  of  the  battle  front  we  might  be  needed.  The  drivers  were  ord<»ed  not 
to  allow  our  men  in  the  trucks  as  it  would  take  some  time  to  get  them  out,  should  it 
be  necessary  to  move  the  trucks  at  night  to  tranq>ort  another  division  to  the  front. 
The  orders  were  generally  obeyed  and  the  men  slept  alongside,  but  this  company 
seems  to  have  fared  better.

JOURNEY  TOWARD  THE  BIG  FRONT 

orders  of  any  kind,  so  we  repitched  tents,  assuming  that  a  mistake 
had  been  made.  Some  of  the  fellows  didn't  go  to  this  trouble,  but 
merely  threw  their  shelter  halves  on  the  ground  and  wound  them- 
selves up  in  their  blankets. 

Monday,  September  30th:  About  1 :30  in  the  morning  it  began  to  rain 
very  hard.  Those  sleeping  on  the  ground  in  the  open  were  rather 
out  of  luck.  So  were  the  rest  of  us  at  8 :00  a.m.,  when  orders  came  to 
pack  up  once  more.  With  mud  up  to  the  shoe  tops  and  inky  black- 
ness, and  with  a  high  wind  blowing,  it  was  no  easy  matter  to  roll 
our  soaking  blankets  in  the  packs.  But  we  were  not  amateurs,  and 
we  were  soon  on  a  ten  mile  hike  to  the  town  of  Bruges.  We  arrived 
there  at  8:00  a.m.,  drenched  through  and  through.  Our  hike  was 
lightened  by  thoughts  of  securing  dry  billets,  but  no  such  luck. 
We  arrived  at  a  worse  place  than  that  which  we  had  left;  a  bleak, 
cold,  muddy  hillside  was  assigned  to  us  for  the  pitching  of  shelter 
tents.  These  served  only  to  keep  the  wind  out,  as  our  blankets 
were  soaked  and  of  no  use,  and  there  was  no  possibility  of  drying 
ourselves  or  our  equipment,  as  it  rained  every  little  while  during  the 
day. 

"  At  7 :00  P.M.  orders  came  for  another  move.  Immediately  we  saw 
visions  of  a  better  home. — ^Always  optimistic,  believing  the  future 
has  something  better  than  the  present  in  store  for  us!  We  were 
misled  on  a  10  kilometer  hike,  to  a  woods  so  wet  and  muddy  that 
Captain  Wlnterton  advised  the  men  not  to  attempt  to  sleep  in  them. 
A  few  followed  his  advice;  more  didn't;  others  scouted  around  and 
found  a  French  barracks  some  distance  away. 

"At  about  11 :00  A.M.  Tuesday,  October  1st,  the  company  assembled 
for  a  little  hike  of  3  miles  to  more  woods.  Here  we  pitched  shelter 
tents  and  remained  for  three  more  uncomfortable  nights. 

*  ^Tuesday,  October  1st  to  Thursday,  October  Srd: 

"The  hardships  were  now  beginning  to  tell  on  the  men,  several  of 
whom  were  obliged  to  go  to  the  hospital.  Sleeping  but  little,  and 
then  on  cold,  wet  mud,  our  strength  taxed  to  the  limit  by  the  con- 
tinuous hikes  with  those  hated  packs,  naturally  had  its  effects. 
Sergeant  Johnson  left  us  here,  suffering  with  a  severe  cold.  The 
news  of  his  death  a  few  days  later  came  as  a  terrible  blow  to  the 
company.  He  had  endeared  himself  to  every  man  in  the  company, 
and  in  his  passing  away,  the  company  lost  one  of  the  most  capable, 
conscientious  and  fearless  sergeants  it  ever  had. 

**The  town  of  Nobescourt  was  too  great  an  allurement  for  the  fellows 
to  resist,  although  it  was  out  of  bounds.  Their  visit  disclosed  the 
fact  that  General  Upton  knew  quite  a  few  perfectly  good  cuss  words. 
Evacuation  Hospital  No.  9  was  located  on  the  outskirts  of  Nobes- 
court, and  the  sight  of  its  inmates  was  far  from  cheerful.    Several  of

the  boys  in  the  Intelligence  Section  from  the  compiEUiy,  discovered 
that  they  were  honored  by  being  the  first  to  become  acquainted  with 
the  eternal  French  cooty,  and  made  an  effort  to  have  themselves 
fumigated  at  the  infirmaiy,  with  no  success.  They  were  doomed  to 
remain  cooty  until  the  end  of  the  war.  There  was  a  scarcity  of 
under-clothing,  and  it  was  either  freeze  with  the  cold  and  take 
chances  with  our  health  or  suffer  tortures  with  the  cooty;  we  chose 
the  latter,  but  it  meant  a  loss  of  sleep  and  extreme  discomfort! 
It  is  generally  thought  that  the  cooty  is  a  matter  of  amusement — 
one  cooty  is,  but  several  are  not! 

''Friday,  October  Jiih: 

""Fortunately ,  it  did  not  rain  daily  in  the  Ippecourt  woods,  although 
the  sun  came  out  but  seldom,  and  the  woods  were  always  wet,  and 
the  cold  increased.  At  11.00  p.  m.  the  battalion  and  Uie  machine 
gun  compa;ny  assembled  and  marched^  to  Moulin  Brule,  a  distance 
of  8  kilometers.  This  hike  brought  us  nearer  to  the  cannons'  roar 
on  the  big  front  than  we  had  ever  been  before.  All  along  on  our 
right,  the  rumbling  and  flashing  foretold  the  object  of  our  mission. 

**Saiurdayy  October  5th: 

"'A  voice  shouted  out  in  the  darkness  about  1.00  a.  m.  announcing 
that  good  barracks  and  good  cots  awaited  us.  We  were  now  in 
Moulin  Brule,  just  outside  of  Nixeville,  where  a  well  equipped  set 
of  barracks  in  the  dense  woods,  large  enough  to  accommodate  the 
regiment,  as  well  as  a  contingent  of  the  French  Army,  awaited  us. 

*'Sunday,  October  6th: 

"This  day  was  to  be  a  memorable  one — the  last  Sabbath  for  many 
of  our  members.  An  impressive  service  was  held  in  the  morning. 
This  service  was  succeeded  by  one  still  more  inspiring,  held  in  the 
afternoon,  and  conducted  by  Mr.  Rodeheaver,  one  of  Billy  Sunday's 
assistants.  Mr.  Rodeheaver  rendered  several  selections  on  the 
trombone  and  also  sang.  Seven  men  were  baptized  during  the 
afternoon. 

"General  Upton  also  made  an  inspiring  address  to  the  regiment  and 
didn't  hesitate  to  tell  the  men  just  what  they  were  up  against. 
Among  other  things,  he  said,  "if  you  lose  a  leg,  be  thankful  that  it 
isn't  an  arm  and  a  leg;  if  you  lose  two  legs  and  both  arms,  be  thankful 
that  you  still  have  your  head,  and  if  you  lose  that,  you  can  be  thank- 
ful that  you  won't  find  any  more  corned  willie  on  your  bill  of  fare.' 

'"The  gathering  was  dismissed  to  roll  packs  for  a  move  that  night. 
We  had  no  so6ner  completed  these  preparations  than  the  rumor 
spread  throughout  the  camp  that  Germany  had  asked  for  peace.  The 
elated  actions  on  the  part  of  the  French  soldiers  in  kissing  one 
another,  singing  and  dancing,  led  us  to  believe  that  possibly  there

was  some  truth  to  the  report,  and  then,  when  orders  came,  like  a 
climax,  to  unroll  packs,  we  felt  certain  that  some  credence  at  least 
must  be  given  to  it.  We  subsequently  learned  that  it  was  another  of 
Germany's  Teace  without  Victory'  overtures,  but,  of  course,  we 
didn't  know  how  much  it  signified.  It  cheered  us  considerably  at  the 
time  however. 

**M(mdayy  October  7th: 

''It  later  appeared  that  the  peace  report  had  nothing  to  do  with  the 
regiment's  delay  in  movement.  We  assembled  about  7:00  p.  m. 
in  a  heavy  rain  and  hiked  10  kilometers  to  a  woods  which  were 
rather  bare  and  showed  considerable  evidences  of  war.  The  Germans 
were  bombarding  the  road,  which  delayed  our  march  considerably, 
and  as  a  consequence,  we  didn't  arrive  at  our  destination  until  1 :00 
A.  M.  Orders  were  received  not  to  pitch  tents,  so  we  lay  around  in 
the  wet  until  morning,  resting  the  best  we  could." 

General  Andlauer  Explains  the  Plan  of  Attack. 

While  the  troops  were  moving  up»  General  Morton  and  his  staff 
were  busily  preparing  the  plans  for  the  attack  in  accordance  with 
the  generid  plans  of  the  17th  French  Corps,  which,  for  the  purposes 
of  this  operation,  was  a  part  of  the  First  American  Army,  under 
General  Pershing's  command. 

We  shall  not  soon  forget  the  memorable  night  of  October 
6th  when  General  Andlauer,  commander  of  the  18th  French  Divi- 
sion, under  which  our  58th  Brigade  was  to  operate  temporarily, 
came  over  from  his  headquarters  in  St.  Margaret's  College  in 
Verdun,  to  pay  his  respects  to  the  commander  of  the  29th  Division, 
and  explained  to  us  his  conception  of  the  plan  of  attack.  With 
his  long,  faded,  blue  greatcoat  wrapped  around  him  and  his  head 
bandaged  because  of  some  infection  of  the  face  which  prevented 
his  wearing  a  cap,  he  was  not  an  imposing  figure  as  he  stood  in 
the  center  of  a  group  composed  of  General  Morton,  the  Chief 
of  Staff  and  his  assistants,  and  the  brigade  and  regimental 
commanders,  and  explained  to  them  the  plan  of  attack,  which 
was  scheduled  to  be  launched  on  the  mommg  of  October  8th. 
But  as  he  proceeded,  with  the  assistance  of  Captain  Chapman, 
General  Morton's  Aide,  to  outhne,  on  a  large  relief  map,  the  posi- 
tion of  his  own  troops,  and  that  of  the  enemy,  the  manner  in 
which  the  58th  Brigade  was  to  go  into  line,  the  axis  along  which 
the  attack  was  to  be  made,  and  the  detailed  plans  which  the 
French  Corps,  under  General  Claudel,  with  the  usual  skill  and

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

thoroughness  of  the  French  General  Staff  had  made,  he  created  a 
profound  impression  and  inspired  the  highest  degree  of  confidence 
in  all  of  the  officers  present.  He  spoke  calmly  and  deliberately, 
without  heat  or  enthusiasm,  but  with  a  cold  glint  in  his  gray  eyes 
which  revealed  the  spirit  of  iron  discipline  and  determination 
which  had  won  for  him  many  honors  and  rapid  promotion.  He 
spoke  of  the  coming  operations  as  if  it  were  to  be  a  big  hunt  or 
some  perfectly  harmless  party,  but,  possibly  on  this  account,  his 
explanation  was  extremely  clear  and  left  no  doubt  in  the  minds  of 
his  hearers  as  to  just  what  he  expected  of  the  American  troops. 
Possibly  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  29th  Division  was  then  to 
participate  in  its  first  battle,  and  particularly  in  view  of  the 
peculiar  character  of  the  terrain  on  our  front,  it  was  not  practic- 
able to  put  the  entire  division  in  line  at  one  time.  Therefore,  the 
58th  Brigade,  under  Colonel  Vernon  A.  Caldwell,  was  to  be  sent 
in  first  on  that  part  of  the  sector  nearest  the  eastern  bank  of  the 
Meuse  as  a  part  of  the  17th  French  Army  Corps,  and  under  the 
command  temporarily  of  the  commanding  general  of  the  18th 
French  Division. 

The  Citadel  of  Verdun. 

The  Citadel  itself,  in  which  this  memorable  conference  was 
held,  is  such  a  remarkable  structure  that  a  brief  description  of  it 
may  prove  of  interest.  It  is  a  fortified  labyrinth  cut  into  the 
very  summit  of  the  hill  on  which  Verdun  is  situated,  and  consists 
of  a  multitude  of  casements  or  underground  chambers  several 
stories  in  height,  affording  accommodation  for  a  very  considerable 
number  of  troops  and  a  large  supply  of  ammunition.  Its  strength 
is  amply  demonstrated  by  the  fact  that  it  was  not  injured  even 
during  the  fury  of  the  German  attack  in  1916.  When  practically 
the  whole  city  was  destroyed,  the  huge  walls  of  earth  and  stone 
resisted  the  heaviest  German  shells. 

The  offices  of  the  Division  P.  C.  were  located  in  one  of  the 
upper  casements  where  preparations  for  the  coming  attack  went 
feverishly  on  until  far  into  the  night.  The  air,  curiously  enough, 
was  abundant  and  pure,  though  smelling  strongly  of  damp  earth, 
while  ample  light  was  supplied  by  the  electric  generator  of  the 
citadel.  From  the  upper  casements  a  winding  stair  case  descended 
some  hundred  or  more  steps  to  a  casement  much  lower,  in  which 
were  the  quarters  of  the  Citadel  Commander.     Here  General

THE  CITY  OF  VERDUN 

Morton  was  given  a  luxuriously  furnished  room  (with  rug  and 
looking  glass)  >  usually  reserved  for  visiting  ladies  of  the  Red 
Cross  or  Y.  M.  C.  A.  In  the  lower  casement  also  was  the  officers* 
mess,  a  large  vaulted  room  with  a  huge  stove  at  one  end>  not  far 
from  which  was  a  long  table,  across  the  room,  reserved  for  the 
general  and  his  staff.  Two  other  long  tables  placed  lengthwise 
down  the  room  were  reserved  for  the  visitors  and  casuals.  In  an 
alcove  at  one  end  of  the  general's  table  was  the  bar,  which 
furnished  among  other  desirable  and  delightful  things,  an  excellent 
draught  beer.  At  the  other  end  of  the  general's  table  was  a  door 
leading  into  the  famous  "'Trophy  Room",  in  which  a  table  was 
set  for  the  Citadel  Commander  and  his  staff.  There,  also,  was 
kept  the  Golden  Book  of  Verdun  containing  the  signatures  of 
notables  who  had  visited  the  citadel  since  the  beginning  of  the 
war.  Over  the  book  hung  flags  of  all  of  the  Allies,  while  the  walls 
were  adorned  with  decorations  bestowed  upon  the  citadel  of 
Verdun  during  the  many  years  of  its  history. 

Next  to  the  mess  hall  was  the  theatre  in  which  there  were 
movies  once  or  twice  a  week.  During  our  short  stay  in  the  Citadel 
there  was  one  evening  of  movies,  and  those  who  could  find  time 
to  attend  were  amused  by  the  antics  of  Charlie  Chaplin,  who 
seemed  as  great  a  favorite  with  the  Poilus  as  with  our  own  Ameri- 
can audiences.  Nor  was  the  echo  of  exploding  shells  in  the 
immediate  neighborhood  unlike  the  sounds  emitted  by  some  of 
our  American  orchestras. 

The  City  of  Verdun, 

As  many  of  the  men  of  the  division  did  not  have  opportunity 
to  visit  the  historic  city,  around  which  they  fought  so  gallantly,  it 
might  not  be  amiss  to  quote  from  the  history  of  Company  B,  104th 
Field  Signal  BattaIion\  the  account  of  its  entrance  into  the  city: 

"We  entered  the  silent  and  deserted  streets  of  Verdun  shortly  after 
midnight.  Desolation  and  ruin  flanked  us  on  every  side.  The 
metallic  ring  of  our  hob  nailed  shoes  as  we  marched  through  the 
devastated  streets  echoed  and  re-echoed  among  the  ruins  of  the 
famous  city.  Soon  we  were  conducted  to  the  Citadel  and  were 
billeted  in  bomb-proof  apartments.  The  Germans  were  then  bom- 
barding the  city.  On  the  following  morning  many  of  us  took  advant- 
age of  the  opportunity  to  explore  the  results  of  the  Boche  brand  of 
*Kultur*.      The  scenes  which  met  our  view  beggar  description.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

The  havoc  wrought  was  appalling.  Not  a  single  building  remained 
intact.  The  big  hotels  and  famous  business  establishments  were 
shot  full  of  great  gaping  holes.  The  roofs  and  upper  floors  hung  in 
confused  masses  from  their  supports.  Piles  of  plaster,  broken  stone 
and  splintered  timbers  that  had  withstood  the  ravishes  of  time,  laid  in 
scattered  heaps  in  the  cellars  and  on  the  ground  floors.  Nearly  a  three 
year  growth  of  rank  vegetation  and  moss  covered  the  debris.  The 
ancient  chateaux  of  the  wealthy  were  likewise  wrecked  beyond  repair. 
Beautiful  statues  were  knocked  from  their  pedestals  and  lay  broken 
on  the  ground. 

"Mural  decorations  on  the  interior  walls  of  many  of  the  finest  resi- 
dences were  completely  destroyed.  Sculptured  stair-cases,  and 
delicately  carved  balconies  presented  a  woeful  spectacle  and  brought 
vividly  to  one's  imagination  the  grandeur  and  beauty  of  the  city 
which  first  had  dared  oppose  the  would-be  conqueror's  onward 
march  toward  Paris.  The  Bank  of  Verdun  was  another  complete 
wreck.  Its  vaults  yawned  open  and  the  rich  upholstered  furniture 
of  the  directors'  room  was  thrown  helter-skelter,  smashed  and  broken 
in  the  moss-covered  debris  on  the  floor.  The  valuable  drafts,  vouch- 
ers, and  other  commercial  paper,  lay  in  heaps,  discolored  by  the 
rain  which  had  drenched  it  through  the  jagged  holes  of  the  roof.  To 
the  casual  sight-seer  it  seemed  that  the  officials  of  the  bank  must  have 
fled  for  their  lives,  leaving  the  records  just  as  they  were.  Unfinished 
business  remains  unfinished  to  this  day,  and  will  remain  so  until  the 
end  of  time.  The  Library,  once  one  of  the  finest  in  Europe,  seemed 
to  be  the  least  damaged  building  in  the  city,  but  upon  closer  inspection 
inside,  it  was  found  that  a  shell  of  large  calibre  had  hit  the  very 
center  of  the  roof  and  carried  the  five  floors  to  the  cellar  beneath.  It 
is  situated  on  the  west  bank  of  the  river  Meuse,  at  one  end  of  the 
Grande  Rue  bridge  which  crosses  the  river  here.  Within  the  four 
walls  could  be  seen  heaps  of  elegantly  bound  volumes  limp  and 
ragged  from  the  moisture  and  the  gnawing  of  the  famished  rats. 
Many  of  the  old  maps  of  ancient  Gaul,  executed  by  the  old  time 
monks  and  exquisitely  tooled  volumes,  laboriously  illuminated  by 
the  same  monkish  hands,  were  buried  beneath  the  debris.  Across 
the  Grand  Rue  stood  the  once  finely  appointed  and  richly  uphol- 
stered theatre,  also  a  mass  of  plaster  and  stone.  Enough  remained 
to  give  one  an  idea  of  what  a  beautiful  place  it  once  was.  The  stage 
scenery  lay  cluttered  about  on  the  boards  upon  which  had  trod  the 
celebrated  Sarah  Bernhardt  and  the  adorable  Rejane.  In  the 
dressing  rooms  beneath  the  stage  could  be  seen  various  costumes, 
wigs  of  all  kinds  and  styles,  complete  *make-up'  materials,  while 
other  accessories  of  the  actors'  craft  lay  on  the  tables  just  as  they  had 
been  left  by  the  startled  company.  This  part  of  the  theatre  suffered 
no  material  damage  but  much  of  the  articles  of  value  had  been 
removed  by  the  French  soldiers  who  occupied  the  city  during  the 
past  two  years."

CHAPTER  XXIII. 

THE     enemy's     dispositions — ^AND     SOME     NECESSARY     PREPARATIONS. 


As  the  lines  in  the  sector  north  of  Verdun  where  we  were  to 
attack  had  become  stabilized,  full  and  complete  information  of 
the  enemy's  dispositions  and  strength  had  been  acquired  by  the 
17th  French  Corps,  which  had  been  stationed  in  this  sector  for 
sometime.  Divisions  were  moved  from  place  to  place  wherever 
needed,  but,  at  all  times  the  endeavor  was  to  keep  an  army  corps 
in  the  same  location  for  this  very  purpose — that  it  might  secure 
all  possible  information  and  become  thoroughly  acquainted  with 
the  surrounding  territory  and  conditions. 

To  understand  the  operations  east  of  the  Meuse,  the  move- 
ments and  plans  of  the  enemy,  as  they  had  been  discovered  and 
developed  by  the  17th  French  Corps,  previous  to  October  8th, 
should  be  borne  in  mind. 

The  mission  of  the  Corps,  during  the  first  attack  of  the  1st 
American  Army  on  the  west  bank  of  the  Meuse,  was  to  camouflage 
the  attack  and  to  support  its  advance  by  artillery  fij'e.  As  a 
result  of  the  demonstrations  made  by  the  corps,  in  performing 
that  mission,  the  enemy  multiplied  his  precautionary  measures 
on  the  corps  front  in  the  following  respects: 

FirsU  the  infantry  in  the  sector  was  reinforced.  Battalions 
at  rest  were  brought  up  to  the  main  line  of  resistance,  and  selected 
machine  gun  detachments  were  hurried  into  the  line,  with  the 
result  that  the  enemy  achieved  a  density  on  his  main  line  of 
resistance  of  ten  infantry  companies  and  three  machine  guns 
per  kilometer  of  front  with  echelonment  in  depth  of  approximately 
600  meters. 

Second^  the  artillery  was  continually  reinforced.  Twelve  new 
battery  emplacements  were  made  and  occupied,  and  sixteen  old 
ones  reoccupied.  In  addition,  nine  new  long  range  guns  were 
brought  into  action  during  the  two  weeks  preceding  the  American 
Army's  attack  of  September  26th  on  the  west  of  the  Meuse.  The 
density  of  active  batteries  on  the  corps  front  was  10  per  kilometer, 
while  at  least  four  artillery  regiments  were  known  to  be  in  close 
reserve. 

I  137  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Thirdy  the  general  reserves  in  the  corps  front  were  reinforced. 
The  28th,  112th  and  5th  Bavarian  Reserve  were  added  to  the 
27th,  37th  and  106th  Austro-Hungarian  Divisions,  which  had 
been  held  in  reserve  opposite  the  corps  front. 

Thus,  just  a  few  days  before  the  actual  attack  of  the  1st 
American  Army  on  the  left  of  the  river,  the  enemy  was  actively 
preparing  to  meet  the  attack  on  the  right  bank.  Captured 
enemy  orders  of  September  18th  read,  in  part,  "an  extension  of 
the  expected  attack  on  the  west  bank  of  the  Meuse  is  not  improb- 
able." Another  captured  order  of  September  28rd,  contained 
the  following: 

"It  is  certain  that  the  Franco-Americans  are  going  to  attack  east 
of  the  Meuse  on  a  great  scale.  We  have  not  been  able  to  determine 
whether  the  attack  will  extend  to  the  left  bank.  The  situation 
demands  the  greatest  surveillance.  Under  no  circumstances  is 
the  enemy  to  be  able  to  surprise  us." 

So  strongly  convinced  was  the  enemy  that  the  main  American 
attack  was  to  be  east  of  the  river, — even  until  the  very  time  it 
was  launched  on  the  west — that  he  regarded  the  real  attack  on 
the  west  bank  at  first  as  a  new  effort  at  deception. 

After  the  attack  west  of  the  river  on  September  26th,  he  was 
compelled  to  move  three  of  his  six  reserve  divisions,  the  5th 
Bavarian,  the  28th  and  37th,  from  the  east  of  the  river,  to  stop 
breaks  in  his  line  on  the  west. 

As  a  part  of  the  enemy's  preparations  to  meet  the  anticipated 
attack  west  of  the  river  at  this  time,  the  27th  Division,  one  of  the 
three  divisions  in  reserve,  was  moved  into  the  front  line,  and  its 
place  in  reserve  was  taken  by  the  228th  Division,  which  had  just 
arrived  from  rest  in  Lorraine.  All  other  reserve  divisions  were 
moved  up  close  to  the  line,  and  their  probable  entrance  into  the 
line  and  the  tactics  to  be  employed  by  each  in  the  event  the  corps 
attack  penetrated  this  position  were  studied. 

Captured  orders  of  the  32nd  Division,  of  October  5th,  show 
that  the  enemy  had  anticipated  as  many  as  five  different  eventu- 
alities, one  of  which  was  the  breaking  of  the  front  by  surprise, 
followed  by  a  Franco-American  advance  as  far  as  one  of  the  rest 
billets  of  reserve  units.  At  this  time,  the  32nd  Division  was  in 
the  camps  Foret  de  M agiennes,  some  twelve  kilometers  from  the 
front. 

That  the  events  of  the  fortnight  just  past,  no  less  than  the 

[  138  1 


TUE  ENEMTS  DISPOSITIONS 

dark  prospects  for  the  future,  were  causing  the  enemy  much 
anxiety  readily  can  be  gathered  from  the  following  captured  order 
of  the  5th  German  Army  : 

"'According  to  the  news  that  we  possess  the  enemy  is  going  to  attack 
the  5th  Army  east  of  the  Meuse  and  try  to  push  toward  Longuyon- 
Sedan,  the  most  important  artery  of  the  army  of  the  West.  More- 
over, the  intention  of  the  enemy  is  to  render  impossible  for  us  the 
exploitation  of  the  Bassin  de  Briey  upon  which  our  steel  produc- 
tion depends  in  a  large  measure. 

''Thus  it  is  come  that  the  hardest  part  of  the  task  may  fall  upon 
the  5th  Army  in  the  course  of  the  fighting  of  the  next  few  weeks; 
it  is  upon  that  task  that  the  security  of  the  Fatherland  may  rest. 

"It  is  on  the  invincible  resistance  of  the  Verdun  Front  that  the 
fate  of  a  great  part  of  the  West  Front  depends,  and  perhaps,  the 
fate  of  our  people. 

"The  Fatherland  must  be  able  to  count  on  every  leader  and  every 
man  knowing  the  grandeur  of  his  mission  and  that  he  wiU  do  his 
duty  to  the  end.  If  things  come  about  thus,  the  enemy's  assault 
as  in  the  past  will  break  against  our  firm  will  to  hold. 

"(Signed)     Von  Marwitz." 

ft 

The  oflfensive  of  October  8  th  was  destined  to  disprove  the 
correctness  of  General  Von  Marwitz's  information;  for,  the  attack 
had  only  limited  ohjedivesy  and  it  continually  avoided  the  zone  over 
which  the  enemy  expected  the  corps  to  attack,  while  the  disorgani- 
zation in  a  few  hours  of  "the  invincible  resistance  of  the  Verdun 
Front",  helped  no  little  to  settle  "the  fate  of  our  people". 

It  is  sometimes  claimed  that  our  attack  of  October  8th  east 
of  the  Meuse  was  a  surprise  attack.  This  is  not  entirely  true.  It 
was  as  much  of  a  surprise  as  was  possible  in  a  sector  occupying  the 
central  part  of  a  great  battle  line,  from  which  had  been  launched 
within  so  short  a  period  the  St.  Mihiel  and  the  Meuse-Argonne 
operations.  Unquestionably,  the  absence  of  artillery  preparation, 
sudden  and  overwhelming  neutralization  fire  on  the  enemy's 
main  lines  of  resistance,  and  the  unusually  rapid  progress  of  our 
assault  troops  over  a  terrain  full  of  obstacles  and  upon  which  no 
destructive  fire  had  been  employed,  were  elements  of  surprise. 
That  the  enemy  was  surprised,  at  least  locally,  was  evidenced  in 
several  ways:  his  troops  did  not  observe  their  strict  instructions 
to  evacuate  the  covering  zone  whenever  an  attack  seemed 
imminent;  the  enemy's  annihilating  fire  was  tardy  and  did  not 

[  139  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-MNTH  DIVISION 

follow  for  nearly  thirty  minutes  after  the  beginning  of  the  attack; 
during  the  first  hours  of  the  attack  the  corps  captured  the 
entire  garrison  of  the  covering  zone  and  four-fifths  of  the  garrison 
of  the  main  line  of  resistance,  numbering  more  than  four  thousand 
in  all;  finally  the  front  over  which  the  corps  was  attacking  was 
extended  five  kilometers  to  the  west,  which  would  not  have  been 
possible,  because  of  the  character  of  the  terrain  and  the  obstacles 
of  the  river,  unless  the  enemy  had  been  surprised.* 

The  Germans  had  but  slight  confidence  in  the  Austro-Hun- 
garian  Divisions  in  our  front.  On  the  night  of  October  4-5th 
the  enemy  moved  the  228th  Division  from  reserve  into  line 
between  the  1st  Austro-Hungarian  Division  and  the  15th  Divi- 
sion, with  the  idea  of  placing  the  Austro-Hungarians  behind 
natural  obstacles,  and  of  putting  in  two  good  divisions  on  the 
vulnerable  part  of  the  front.  He  also  relieved  the  61st  K.  u.  K. 
(Kaiserlich  und  Koenigen)  by  the  85th  Fusiliers. 

On  October  5th,  the  48th  and  27th  Regiments  of  the  228th 
Division  were  hastily  moved  to  the  west  bank  of  the  Meuse  and 
on  the  7th  the  enemy  gave  up  his  new  scheme  of  densification 
and  replaced  the  S5th  Fusiliers  with  the  61st  K.  u.  K. 

Thus  on  October  8th  the  1st  Austro-Hungarian  Division  and 
the  16th  Division  were  opposite  the  17th  Corps,  having  in  their 
sector  nine  battalions  and  forty  batteries.  The  1st  Austro-Hun- 
garian Division  occupied  a  front  of  nine  kilometers  and  the  15th 
a  front  of  about  four  kilometers.  This  generally  was  the  situation 
of  the  enemy  opposite  the  17th  Corps,  immediately  before  the 
attack  on  the  east  of  the  Meuse  was  launched. 

It  might  be  of  interest  to  the  general  reader  to  outline  some 
of  the  preparations  which  necessarily  preceded  an  attack.  Few 
people  realize  the  enormous  care  which  must  be  taken  and  the 
many  matters  of  minute  detail  which  must  be  given  attention 
before  a  battle  can  be  launched.  In  normal  times  the  possi- 
bility of  mishaps  must  be  considered,  but  in  preparation  for 
battle  every  contingency  must  be  foreseen  as  far  as  is  humanly 
possible,  and  everything  done  that  possibly  can  be  anticipated 
to  reduce  the  opportunity  for  mishaps  to  the  minimum. 

'  The  original  front  of  the  attack  of  six  kilometers  was  almost  immediately  expanded  to 
eleven  kilometers.  The  French  Corps  generously  and  correctly  concede  that  its  ability 
to  make  this  extension  was  due  in  a  great  part  to  the  dash  of  the  troops  of  the  SSrd 
United  States  Division  "who  in  broad  daylight  crossed  the  Meuse  and  went  with  a 
single  bound  into  the  Bois  de  Chaume." 

[  140] 


SOME  NECESSARY  PREPARATIONS 

It  requires  no  great  stretch  of  the  imagination  to  realize  the 
difficulty  attendant  upon  feeding  27,000  or  more  people  and 
10,000  or  more  animals  even  under  normal  conditions.  If  there 
be  pictured  a  division  of  more  than  27,000  men  and  more  than 
10,000  animals,  separated  by  three  thousand  miles  of  water  and 
several  hundred  miles  of  land  from  its  main  source  of  supply, 
acting  under  the  orders  of  a  corps  commanded  by  a  foreign  gen- 
eral and  composed  of  troops  of  different  nationalities,  speaking 
a  different  language,  and  operating  over  a  country  which  had 
been  a  battle  ground  for  four  years,  one  can  begin  to  see  the  diffi- 
culty of  the  essential  process  of  feeding  these  men  and  animals. 

Then  it  must  be  realized  that  the  railroad  systems  of  France, 
aside  from  having  to  support  the  normal  traffic  for  the  necessary 
business  and  transportation  of  the  country,  had  imposed  upon 
them  the  additional  burden  of  supplying  their  own  armies,  and 
the  further  burdens  of  supplying  the  British  Armies,  the  Bel- 
gian Armies,  some  Italian  and  Portuguese  troops  and  the  remain- 
der of  the  American  Army.  Accordingly  it  was  a  tremendous 
problem  to  transport  to  one  division  the  things  necessary  for  it 
in  its  advance. 

Consider  the  question  of  ammunition  supply — the  amount  of 
tonnage  required  for  transporting  it  from  the  factories  to  some 
supply  base  behind  the  lines.  Then  consider  the  men  and  roll- 
ing stock  necessary  to  transport  it  to  a  corps  or  divisional  area 
in  which  the  fighting  is  to  take  place;  to  unload  it  from  the 
trains  and  load  it  on  the  trucks  of  the  division  ammunition  train 
and  carry  it  to  the  ammunition  dump  located  in  the  divisional 
area;  then  again  to  load  and  carry  it  by  the  Horsed  Section  of 
the  Ammunition  Train  still  further  to  the  front  where  it  is  deliv- 
ered either  to  the  batteries  themselves  or  to  some  dump  nearer 
the  line  where  ammunition-carrying  parties  either  in  anmiuni- 
tion  wagons  or  in  small  40  cm.  railroads  or  trams  carry  it  to  the 
fighting  batteries.  When  it  is  remembered  how  short  a  time 
it  takes  to  fire  a  ton  of  ammunition  and  compare  that  with  the 
amount  of  time  required  to  haul  it,  it  can  be  seen  without  effort, 
what  a  problem  must  -be  met  in  the  handling  of  the  ammunition 
supplies. 

Consider  the  transportation  of  food.  Brought  to  the  divi- 
sion rail  head  by  train,  it  is  there  unloaded  and  loaded  in  trucks 
and  carried  to  a  distributing  point  where  horse-drawn  wagons 

[  141  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

belonging  to  the  various  regiments  receive  their  allotted  por- 
tions. These  wagons  carry  the  food  to  the  furthest  point  for- 
ward at  which  it  can  be  prepared.  The  food  is  then  cooked  in 
rolling  kitchens  which  are  carried  still  further  forward  if  oppor- 
tunity presents  itself;  or  else  large  carrying-parties  take  the 
cooked  food  by  hand  to  the  men  in  the  very  front  hues. 

Consider  the  question  of  traffic  control.  Think  of  a  small 
town  or  city  of  27,000  or  more  inhabitants,  with  its  one  railroad 
and  its  one  or  two  intersecting  streets,  and  the  necessity  which 
exists  for  some  sort  of  traffic  control  on  the  principal  streets  of 
even  so  small  a  town  readily  will  be  seen.  Imagine,  if  you  will, 
instclad  of  this  orderly  array  of  streets,  only  one  or  two  big  roads, 
— ^arteries  of  life  for  thousands  of  men — constantly  under  fire 
from  the  enemy's  guns,  over  which  must  pass  not  only  all  of 
the  wagons  carrying  food,  ammunition  and  equipment  to  the 
front,  but  also  ambulances  and  hospital  wagons  coming  from 
the  rear,  automobiles  of  staflf  officers,  and  side-cars  of  dispatch  bear- 
ers. From  this  some  idea  may  be  had  of  the  congestion  which 
could  result  so  easily  on  one  of  these  roads.  The  regulation  and 
control  of  traffic  is  no  less  a  problem  than  is  keeping  the  roads 
in  repair.  This  requires  the  constant  services  of  the  engineers 
and  labor  troops.  As  each  day's  advance  takes  the  division 
further  into  the  enemy's  country  over  what  had  been  the  day 
before  "No  Man's  Land"  itself,  the  roads  are  but  one  continuous 
line  of  shell  craters.  The  task  of  the  engineers  and  labor  bat- 
talions is  no  slight  one.  Then,  too,  on  the  days  on  which  an 
advance  is  made,  the  roads  are  still  further  blocked  by  the  walk- 
ing wounded,  prisoners  and  other  necessary  traffic. 

It,  therefore,  became  the  duty  of  the  Staff  to  work  out  in 
advance  plans  for  the  use  of  all  roads  so  as  to  reduce  congestion 
to  a  minimum,  while  permitting  the  rapid  advance  forward  of 
the  ammunition  and  supply  trains  and  the  evacuation  to  the 
rear  of  the  prisoners  and  wounded.  The  bulk  of  this  traffic  had 
to  be  by  night  when  observation  by  the  enemy  was  most  difficult. 

Dressing  stations  for  the  wounded  had  to  be  established  as 
close  to  the  line  as  comparative  safety  would  permit, — close 
enough,  at  least,  to  give  that  first  aid  which  so  often  was  neces- 
sary to  preserve  to  the  fighting  forces  an  additional  soldier. 
Farther  back  were  located  the  dressing  stations,  and  the  field 
hospitals,  where  only  the  most  absolutely  essential  surgery  could

be  done.  Still  farther  to  the  rear  were  located  the  evacuation 
hospitals,  through  which  a  stream  of  wounded  constantly  flowed 
to  the  big  base  hospitals  away  from  the  firing  line. 

In  order  to  enable  all  of  the  different  agencies  which  were 
necessary,  to  co-ordinate,  to  direct  and  to  carry  into  eflfect  the  plans 
after  they  were  made,  a  system  of  communication  had  to  be 
established  and  maintained,  regardless  of  conditions.  This  sys- 
tem easily  equalled  that  required  for  a  fair  sized  town  or  city. 

Thus  will  be  seen  some  of  the  problems  which  had  to  be 
considered  and  solved,  in  the  face  of  circumstances  the  most 
adverse,  before  undertaking  an  advance.  And  always  there 
was  present  the  additional  and  troublesome  element  of  bad 
weather,  which  seemed  to  be  the  unvarying  concomitant  of  every 
battle.

CHAPTER  XXIV. 

THE  MEUSE-ARGONNE  BATTLE — THE  58tH  INPANTRY  BRIGADE  JUMPS  OFF 
— OCTOBER  8th — THE  57TH  BRIGADE  GOES  INTO  ACTION. 


The  morning  of  October  8th  found  everything  in  readiness 
for  the  attack.  The  troops  were  in  place  and  liaison^  between 
the  29th  Division  and  the  next  superior,  the  next  lower  and  the 
adjoining  units  had  been  established.  During  the  first  phase  of 
the  battle,  that  is  until  the  Normal  Objective  had  been  captured, 
the  orders^  of  the  18th  French  Division  governed  the  movement 
of  the  troops  of  the  58th  Brigade.  After  the  capture  of  the 
Normal  Objective,  the  58th  Infantry  Brigade  and  the  158th 
Field  Artillery  Brigade  would  revert  to  the  29th  Division,  and  the 
second  phase  of  the  engagement  was  to  be  undertaken  in  accord- 
ance with  orders  of  the  29th  Division,  issued  October  7th'. 
During  the  first  phase  of  the  attack  the  29th  Division  (less  the 
58th  Brigade)  was  a  part  of  the  corps  reserve. 

The  mission  of  the  18th  French  Division,  to  which  the  58th 
Brigade  was  attached  for  the  first  phase  of  the  attack,  was  to 
take  the  heights  of  the  Haumont  Woods,  the  Ormont  Woods 
and  the  Consenvoye  Woods,  in  order  to  drive  the  enemy  off  the 
"heights  of  the  Meuse."  The  strong  artillery  positions,  which 
were  also  very  unusual  vantage  points  for  observation,  had  enabled 
the  enemy  to  enfilade  the  American  advance  beyond  Mont- 
faucon.  These  heights  had  to  be  cleared  of  the  enemy  to  facili- 
tate our  advance  on  the  left  of  the  river.  The  ground  over 
which  the  assulting  battalions  had  to  advance  was  rough,  shell- 
torn  and  hilly,  with  open  ground  between  our  jumping  off  posi- 
tions and  the  enemy*s  first  line  positions.  The  enemy  during 
the  two  years  following  the  Battle  of  Verdun  had  organized  this

THE  PLAN  OF  ATTACK 

stretches  of  the  Bois  Brabant-sur-Meuse,  Bois  de  Consenvoye, 
Bossois  Bois  and  MoUeville  Bois  had  to  be  passed.  Then  the  open 
ground,  known  as  the  MoUeville  Farm,  had  to  be  crossed  and 
penetration  had  to  be  made  as  far  as  possible  into  Bois  de  la 
Grande  Montagne. 

The  plan  in  detail,  as  will  be  seen  from  the  orders*  of  the  18th 
French  Division,  required  the  attacking  battalions  to  capture 
the  enemy*s  first,  second  and  third  defensive  lines,  all  three  of 
which  were  included  within  the  Intermediate  Objective.  The 
support  battalions  were  to  execute  a  passage  of  lines,  when 
the  attacking  battalions  had  reached  the  Intermediate  Objec- 
tive, and  themselves  were  to  become  the  attacking  battalions 
until  the  Normal  Objective  was  reached.  Then  the  third  line, 
or  reserve  battalions,  should  advance  from  the  position  on  the 
Intermediate  Objective  and  join  the  second  line  battalions  on 
the  Normal  Objective,  and  reconnoitre  the  lines  of  exploitation. 
The  first  line  battalions,  in  the  meantime,  on  the  Intermediate 
Objective,  and  the  second  line  battalions  on  the  Normal  Objec- 
tive were  to  consolidate  and  organize  these  positions  and  were 
to  prepare  to  resist  counter  attacks.  The  attack  as  indicated, 
had  to  be  made  over  a  varied  terrain,  deep  wooded  ravines, 
high,  steep,  thickly  wooded  hills  and  ridges,  which  presented 
every  advantage  desirable  for  defense  and  all  but  insurmount- 
able obstacles  to  the  attacking  forces.  The  direction  of  the 
attack  was  a  little  east  of  north  for  the  first  three  kilometers, 
then  due  north  and  northwest.  The  initial  front  of  the  58th 
Brigade  was  nearly  2000  meters  (about  1^  miles)  and  the  depth 
of  the  advance  was  to  be  seven  kilometers  (about  4J^  miles). 

It  will  be  seen  from  the  orders  referred  to  that  at  Zero  Hour 
the  29th  Division  was  the  only  American  unit  in  line  east  of  the 
Meuse.  West  of  the  Meuse  was  the  Third  American  Army 
Corps  with  its  right  resting  on  the  left  bank  of  the  river,  and  the 
33rd  Division  ready  to  cross  the  river  and  join  the  attacking 
line  as  it  progressed.  The  eastern  boundary  of  our  sector  prac- 
tically was  a  line  running  north  and  south  through  Samogneux, 
and  the  western  boundary  was  the  river,  which  runs  northwest 
from  Brabant  to  Sivry.  Consequently,  the  advance  of  the  68th 
Brigade  opened  up  an  increasingly  wide  space.  This  space 
was  filled  during  the  attack  of  the  8th  by  a  regiment  of  the  83rd

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Division,  which  crossed  the  river  as  the  attack  progressed  and 
covered  the  left  flank  of  the  58th  Brigade.  Units  of  the  18th 
French  Division  were  on  our  right,  and  of  the  26th  French  Divi- 
sion on  their  right. 

Colonel  ReckordS  commanding  the  115th  Infantry,  desig- 
nated Major  Barrett's  First  Battalion  as  the  attacking  battalion, 
with  Company  A,  112th  Machine  Gun  Battalion  attached,  Major 
Hancock's  Second  Battalion,  as  the  support  battalion,  with  the 
Regimental  Machine  Gun  Company  attached,  and  the  Third 
Battalion,  commanded  by  Captain  Woodcock,  as  the  reserve 
battalion,  with  Company  B,  112th  Machine  Gun  Battalion, 
attached.  In  addition  the  One-Pounder  and  Stokes-Mortar 
Platoons  were  assigned  to  the  First,  the  assaulting  battalion. 
The  115th  Infantry  was,  thus,  the  left  element  of  the  17th  French 
Army  Corps,  east  of  the  river,  when  the  attack  b^an.  On 
its  right  was  the  116th  United  States  Infantry,  commanded  at 
the  time  by  Colonel  Harris,  of  the  Regular  Army,  who  had 
designated  Major  Opie's  Battalion,  the  Third,  as  the  attack- 
ing battalion,  with  the  First  Battalion,  Major  Alexander's,  as 
the  support  battalion,  and  the  Second,  Major  Waller's,  as  the 
reserve  battalion.  To  the  attacking  battalion  were  assigned 
Company  D,  112th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  commanded  by 
Captain  F.  H.  Bondurant,  the  Regimental  One-Pounder  Platoon, 
comjnanded  by  First  Lieutenant  Marvin  J.  Menefee,  the  Stokes- 
Mortar  Platoon,  commanded  by  Lieutenant  Jesse  Reed,  a  detach- 
ment of  Pioneers,  and  the  Field  Signal  Detachment. 

Late  in  the  afternoon  of  the  7th,  the  115th  Infantry  left  its 
bivouac  in  the  vicinity  of  Germonville,  and  under  cover  of  the 
night  and  in  a  misty  rain  moved  into  position  by  way  of  the 
Chamy-Samogneux  Road.  The  Third  Battalion  of  the  115th 
marched  into  its  position  in  reserve  by  the  Chattancourt-Cumi- 
eres-Regneville  Road,  protected  on  its  left  flank  by  a  company 
of  French  Infantry,  which  had  taken  up  a  position  in  the  town 
of  Brabant.  The  First,  the  attacking  battalion  of  the  115th, 
moved  into  position  along  the  Brabant-Samogneux  Road,  with 
its  left  at  the  quarry  500  meters  south  of  Brabant  and  its  right 
at  the  center  of  the  ravine  about  700  meters  southeast  of  the 

'Colonel  Reckord  had  Uie  unique  distinction  of  being  the  only  infantry  colonel  of 
the  29th  Division  who  brought  his  regiment  overseas,  commanded  it  throughout  its 
service  in  France  (except  for  a  short  period,  when  he  temporarily  commanded  the 
57th  Brigade  in  Alsace),  and  was  mustered  out  with  it.

THE  NIGHT  MARCH  INTO  POSITION 

quarry,  and  awaited  the  arrival  of  H  or  Zero  Hour,  set  for 
5  o'clock  on  the  following  morning. 

At  the  same  time  the  116th  Infantry  had  marched  from  its 
bivouac  in  the  vicinity  of  Fromerville  to  Samogneux  by  way  of 
the  Longhut-M arre-Samogneux  Road  and  had  taken  its  place 
on  the  right  of  the  attacking  battalion  of  the  115th,  in  position 
about  850  meters  north  of  Samogneux.  Its  left  joined  the  115tli 
Infantry  and  its  right  rested  on  the  Samogneux-Haumont  Road. 

The  difficulties  of  the  night  march^  are  thus  described  by 
Major  Opie,  commanding  the  attacking  battalion  of  the  116th: 

"'It  was  nearly  dark  and  a  misty  rain  was  falling  when  the  battalion 
set  out  on  its  twenty-three  kilometer  hike  for  Samogneux.  It 
was  fair  going  to  the  Meuse  crossing  at  Vacherauville,  but  from 
there  across  Talou  Hill  to  Samogneux  was  a  hell  of  barbed  wire, 
debris,  shell  holes  and  trenches,  the  wreck  of  a  battle  field,  which 
in  the  pitchy  blackness  of  the  night  seemed  to  be  a  frenzied  mass 
of  shattered  but  still  living  forms,  blocking  the  way. 


"The  unit  was  to  be  in  position  at  midnight.  Shortly  before  that 
hour  the  head  of  the  long  colunm  arrived  at  the  last  French  out- 
posts at  Samogneux.  There  French  guides  were  furnished,  and 
the  various  infantry  companies  and  machine  gun  companies  were 
conducted  through  the  wire  into  *No  Man's  Land,'  and  into  their 
respective  positions  on  the  southern  slope  of  the  ridge  which  they 
were  first  to  attack  next  morning.  Stokes-Mortar,  One-Pounder 
and  Pioneer  units  also  arrived  and  were  placed  in  their  respective 
positions.  The  Field  Signal  Detachment  which  was  to  furnish 
field  telephones  and  other  communications  was  evidently  lost  in 
the  night.     It  never  showed  up. 

"It  was  learned  from  the  French  guides  that  the  Zero  Hour  was 
five  A.  M.  This  was  confirmed  at  four  a.  m.  in  a  message  received 
from  regimental  headquarters.  Shortly  after  the  Third  Battalion 
went  into  position,  the  Second  Battalion  of  Marylanders,  arrived 
and  passed  across  its  rear  to  their  position.  Then  Major  Alexander 
reported  with  his  battalion  which  went  into  support  position. 
Everything  was  now  in  readiness  for  the  surprise  attack,  provided 
the  artillery  which  had  been  noticed  in  the  rear  areas  was  in  readi- 
ness, and  sentries  were  posted,  and  most  of  the  men  in  spite  of 

'Li.  Col.  W.  S.  Bowen,  U.  S.  A.,  Au'i  Chief  of  Staff  G-3  during  the  operations  north  of 
Verdun,  and  who  kindly  read  over  the  manuscript  of  the  chapters  dealing  wiUi  the 
batUe  period  of  the  division's  history,  had  this  to  say,  in  a  letter  to  Uie  writer: 
"The  night  march  of  this  brigade  from  points  at  an  average  distance  of  13  miles 
from  its  attacking  position,  in  dense  darkness,  over  roads  indistinguishable  from 
the  torn  ground  on  either  side,  and  already  congested,  to  go  into  position  and  make 
a  daylight  attack,  is  a  remarkable  incident  in  American  military  history." 

[  147] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

the  peril  of  their  position  soon  fell  to  sleep  on  the  sodden  hillside. 
Enemy  shells  were  falling  just  across  the  river,  and  now  and  then 
a  flare  or  rocket  from  the  trenches  ahead  or  a  machine  gun  spitting 
viciously  into  tlie  night  bespoke  the  nervousness  of  the  Austrian 
troops  which  were  said  to  be  occupying  the  opposite  sector." 

Companies  A  and  B,  commanded  respectively  by  Captains 
Elmer  F.  Munshower  and  Winfield  B.  Harward,  were  desig- 
nated as  the  assaulting  companies  of  the  lldth,  with  Companies 
C  and  D,  commanded  respectively  by  First  Lieutenant^  Philip 
K.  Moisan,  and  Captain  Herbert  L.  Grymes,  in  support.  The 
battalion  was  commanded  by  Major  Henry  S.  Barrett.  On  the 
right  of  the  115th,  Companies  L  and  I,  of  the  116th,  under  Cap- 
tains Ewart  Johnston  and  Robert  Y.  Conrad  respectively,  were 
designated  as  the  assaulting  companies.  Companies  M  and  K, 
Captain  A.  D.  Barksdale  and  First  Lieutenant  A.  H.  Stone, 
were  in  support. 

Promptly  at  5  o'clock — ^Zero  Hour — on  the  morning  of  Octo- 
ber 8th  the  first  gun  of  our  supporting  artillery,  the  158th  Field 
Artillery  Brigade,  commanded  by  Brigadier  General  A.  S.  Flem- 
ing, boomed  forth.  As  though  this  had  been  the  prearranged 
signal,  every  gun  in  the  sector  seemed  to  join  in.  Every  hill- 
side and  valley  became  literally  afire.  Instantly,  the  whistles 
of  the  company  and  platoon  leaders  set  the  various  lines  in 
motion.  The  tension  of  many  hours  was  broken,  and  the  men, 
lighting  their  cigarettes  as  they  went,  advanced  under  cover  of 
their  protecting  artillery  fire,  toward  the  enemy's  first  line. 

Following  the  barrages,  which  were  laid  down  in  the  beginning 
300  meters  in  front  of  the  parallels  of  departure,  the  attacking 
line  moved  forward  at  a  rate  of  100  meters  in  four  minutes. 
The  support  battalions  followed  at  500  meters,  and  the  reserve 
battalions  at  1000  meters.  These  measurements  represented 
the  distance  between  the  rear  element  of  the  unit  in  front  to 
the  leading  element  of  the  unit  in  rear.  Thus  the  three  battal- 
ions were  echeloned  more  than  two  miles  in  depth.  The  advance 
of  the  Marylanders  met  with  Kttle  opposition  from  the  enemy's 
first  line  positions,  but  the  Virginians,  on  the  right  of  the  attacking 
line,  had  to  face  a  more  stubborn  defense,  particularly  as  they 
neared  the  Intermediate  Objective. 

Due,  evidently  to  the  suddenness  of  our  attack  and  the  onus-

ENEMY'S  ADVANCE  TRENCHES  TAKEN 

sion*  of  artillery  preparation,  nearly  half  an  hour  elapsed  before 
the  enemy's  artillery  reacted  to  the  fire  of  our  artillery.  This 
gave  time  for  the  forward  elements  to  gain  their  full  distance  in 
marching  and  for  the  advance  groups  to  reach  and  cut  the  first 
of  the  enemy's  wire.  When  the  reaction  did  come,  however,  it 
was  most  vigorous.  It  raked  the  advancing  battalions  from  front 
to  rear  and  from  flank  to  flank,  but  it  did  not  stop  the  attack 
as  the  wide  deployment  in  small  groups  had  given  the  tactical 
answer  to  this  situation.  One  French  liaison  officer  was  heard 
to  exclaim  in  admiration,  "Ah!  This  I  have  not  seen  in  the  four 
y<;ars  of  the  war.    This  is  open  warfare,  which  means  the  finish! " 

The  enemy's  advanced  trenches  were  reached  on  schedule, 
at  6:20  o'clock  (H  hour  plus  1:20).  The  advance  disclosed  that 
the  enemy,  in  accordance  with  his  later-day  tactics,  was  hold- 
ing his  outpost  lines  very  lightly.  A  few  prisoners, — small  groups 
of  poorly  clad,  dirty  Austrians — were  taken  in  the  first  line,  along 
which  were  many  deep,  well  constructed  dugouts, — ^rather  a 
novelty  in  a  line  of  observation.  In  many  instances  the  enemy 
did  not  come  out  until  the  first  wave  had  passed  over  and  the 
support  waves  were  approaching.  Then  groups  emerged,  armed 
with  Lewis  automatics,  and  did  considerable  damage.  The  Third 
Battalion  headquarters  of  the  116th  ran  into  one  of  these  groups 
of  machine  gunners,  killed  three  of  them  with  pistols,  and  took 
the  remaining  fourteen  as  prisoners. 

At  7  o'clock  (H  hour  plus  2),  the  enemy's  second  line  was 
reached.  Only  a  few  scattered  prisoners  were  taken  in  these 
positions,  while  the  enemy's  artillery  fire  was  causing  us  more 
casualties.  First  Lieutenant  Fred  G.  Traut,  a  Marylander, 
assigned  to  I  Company,  116th,  is  thought  to  have  been  the  first 
officer  to  fall  severely  wounded.  He  was  hurled  into  the  air  by 
a  bursting  shell,  fragments  piercing  his  body  in  six  places. 

As  had  been  anticipated,  the  enemy  oflfered  the  stiffest  resist- 
ance of  the  day  as  the  troops  approached  his  main  position,  our 
Intermediate  Objective,  along  the  northern  slope  of  Mai- 
brouck  Hill  and  the  southern  edge  of  the  Bois  Brabant-sur- 
Meuse.  A  part  of  this  position  was  reached  at  9:30  o'clock 
(H  hour  plus  4:30)  by  the  attacking  battaUon  of  the  116th.     The 

^  During  the  latter  part  of  1918,  it  was  found  advisable  to  reduce  artillery  preparation 
or  to  omit  it  entirely,  as  it  merely  advertised  the  fact  that  an  attack  was  to  be  made. 
In  this  attack  a  certain  element  of  surprise  had  been  relied  upon. 

[  149] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

French  on  their  right  had  met  stiff  resistance  from  the  enemy 
positions  in  the  Bois  d'Haumont,  and  had  not  reached  this  line. 
Contact  with  the  115th  on  the  left  also  had  been  lost.  On  the 
left  flank  Malbrouck  Hill  was  unusually  strongly  fortified,  and 
the  Intermediate  Objective  lay  just  within  the  southern  edge  of 
the  Bois  Brabant-sur-Meuse.  When  within  two  hundred 
meters  of  the  objective,  the  advance  of  Opie's  Battalion  was 
checked  by  heavy  machine  gun,  rifle,  grenade  and  minnewerfer 
fire.  But  after  the  front  line  units  had  been  checked  each  suc- 
ceeding line  fed  into  it,  until  a  powerful  firing  line  was  formed 
which  beat  down  the  enemy*s  opposition  and  enabled  the  attack- 
ers to  take  his  trenches  at  the  point  of  the  bayonet.  Having 
cleared  the  frontal  position  and  captured  many  prisoners,  the 
116th  now  began  to  receive  a  heavy  fire  on  the  right  flank  from 
the  heights  of  the  Bois  d'Ormont  and  Ormont  Farm,  in  the  sec- 
tor of  the  French.  The  entire  regiment  suffered  heavily;  par- 
ticularly the  Third  Battalion.  The  gallant  Conrad*  fell,  mort- 
ally wounded,  leading  his  company,  and  Lieutenant  Dinges  as- 
sumed command.  Enemy  artillery  added  high  explosives  to  the 
infantry  fire,  while  a  squadron  of  enemy  planes  swept  the  lines, 
first  with  bombs  and  then  with  machine  guns.  For  two  hours, 
the  regiment  was  exposed  to  this  severe  punishment.  In  the 
meantime,  the  attack  against  Ormont  Farm  on  the  right,  led  by 
Lieutenant  Dinges,  the  only  surviving  officer  of  I  Company, 
was  pressed  and  resulted  in  its  capture^,  together  with  nineteen 
prisoners  and  four  heavy  machine  guns.  Later  in  the  day, 
Corporal  AUamong,  of  Company  I,  captured  single-handed, 
three  guns  and  twenty-six  prisoners,  and  in  so  doing  displayed 
such  exceptional  daring  as  to  win  for  him  the  D.  S.  C.  First 
Lieutenant  Floyd  L.  Cunningham,  Liaison  Officer  with  the 
Third  Battalion  of  the  116th,  also  won  the  D.  S.  C.  at  this  time, 
for  volunteering  to  go  to  the  assistance  of  a  wounded  comrade 
under  heavy  machine  gun  and  shell  fire.     Lieutenant  Cunning- 

*  Captain  Robert  Y.  Conrad,  Winchester,  Vs.,  received  a  posthumous  award  of  the  Dis- 

tinguished Service  Cross  for  his  gallantry  in  this  attack.  His  citation  reads:  ''Cap- 
tain Conrad  led  his  company  in  assault,  capturing  many  prisoners  and  machine 
guns.  He  continually  inspir€»d  his  men  by  utter  disregard  of  danger  and  was  mor- 
tally wounded  while  leading  a  charge  on  a  machine  gun  nest." 

*  Ormont  Farm  was  not  in  the  sector  of  the  58th  Brigade  and  the  capture  of  Ormont 

Farm  is  not  referred  to  in  official  reports.  The  battalion  commander  who  ordered 
this  attack  is  authority  for  this  statement.

THE  INTERMEDIATE  OBJECTIVE  IS  TAKEN 

ham's  conduct  was  conspicuous  until  his  death  a  few  days  later, 
while  leading  a  platoon  against  some  machine  gun  nests. 

The  scheduled  time  for  the  first  passage  of  lines,  9:30,  had 
passed,  and  12  noon,  the  hour  fixed  for  the  second  passage  was 
fast  approaching,  and  there  was  no  cessation  of  the  enemy*s  fire 
on  our  flanks.  At  11  a.  m.,  the  First  Battalion  of  the  116th  fol- 
lowed closely  by  the  Second,  reached  the  Ravin  de  Boussieres 
and  then  moved  forward  to  the  ravine  just  south  of  the  Brabant 
Woods. 

Heavy  fire  from  the  strong  machine  gun  positions  on  the 
northern  and  eastern  slopes  of  Malbrouck  Hill  on  the  left  flank 
now  rendered  a  farther  advance  extremely  hazardous,  if  not  im- 
possible. Malbrouck  Hill  was  undoubtedly  the  strongest  position 
in  front  of  the  58th  Brigade,  until  the  Intermediate  Objective  was 
passed,  and  had  not  been  reduced  by  the  artillery  Gre  accompany- 
ing the  attack.  At  this  more  or  less  critical  time  for  all  three  bat- 
talions. Captain  Johnston  of  Company  L,  having  cleared  his  front 
of  the  enemy,  launched  a  sudden  flank  attack  against  the  hill  on 
his  own  initiative^  Company  K,  under  Lieutenant  Stone, 
immediately  was  ordered  to  his  support.  The  attack  was  driven 
home  with  the  bayonet.  Thanks  to  the  quickness  with  which 
the  plan  was  conceived  and  executed,  resistance  was  promptly 
overcome,  all  positions  were  taken,  and  210  prisoners,  including 
a  battalion  commander  and  his  staff,  were  captured.  This  local 
success  was  exploited  to  the  front  and  flank,  and  the  ground 
gained  was  held.  In  the  Bois  de  Brabant  eighteen  heavy 
machine  guns,  many  light  guns  of  the  Lewis  type,  five  cannon, 
two  anti  tank  rifles,  several  minnewerfers  and  much  other  mate- 
riel were  captured  by  the  116th,  in  addition  to  a  food  and  an 
ammunition  dump.  Lieutenant  Stone  was  awarded  the  Dis- 
tinguished Service  Cross  for  his  leadership  and  personal  courage 
displayed  in  the  attack.  Though  ordered  to  the  rear  by  a  sur- 
geon because  of  a  badly  sprained  ankle,  he  continued  to  lead  his 
company. 

At  about  1  p.  M.  the  entire  front  and  flanks  had  been  suffici-

through  the  line  held  by  the  Third  and  to  become  the  attacking 
battalion  of  the  116th.  Immediately  thereafter,  the  First  Bat- 
talion met  with  stiff  resistance  from  machine  gun  nests  and 
organized  rifle  fire  from  the  high  points  and  trenches  in  the  Bra- 
bant Woods.  These  machine  gun  nests  were  extremely  diflS- 
cult  to  locate,  but  had  to  be  overcome  before  the  passage  of  lines 
could  be  successfully  executed.  After  reducing  the  machine 
gun  resistance,  Alexander's  Battalion  proceeded  more  slowly. 
It  finally  reached  the  Normal  Objective  on  the  northern  slope 
of  the  MoUeville  Woods  (point  25.3-81.4)  at  15:40  o'clock  (3:40 
p.  M.),  but  was  forced  to  fall  back  to  the  high  ground  overlook- 
ing the  Ravin  d'Bourvaux  to  effect  liaison  with  the  French, 
whose  advance  had  been  retarded  by  heavy  artillery  fire. 

A  conspicuous  act  of  personal  courage,  which  contributed 
greatly  to  the  successful  advance  of  Alexander's  Battalion  was 
performed  by  Sergeant  Carlisle  A.  Gorman,  Coqiorals  Joseph  E. 
Allen  and  Raymond  E.  Maxie  and  Privates  Edward  W.  Techel 
and  James  B.  Dunn,  of  Company  B,  116th  Infantry.  Pro- 
ceeding in  advance  of  their  company,  they  attacked  and  cap- 
tured eight  machine  guns,  together  with  their  crews,  in  the  face 
of  determined  resistance.  Private  Dunn  was  fatally  wounded 
later  in  the  day.     All  were  awarded  the  D.  S.  C. 

Sergeant  Earl  D.  Gregory,  of  Headquarters  Company,  of  the 
116th,  won  one  of  the  three  Congressional  Medals  of  Honor 
awarded  the  division  during  its  entire  history  by  his  conduct 
during  the  latter  part  of  the  day's  fighting  "for  conspicuous  gal- 
lantry and  intrepidity  above  and  beyond  the  call  of  duty  in 
action  with  the  enemy  at  Bois  de  Consenvoye,  north  of  Verdun, 
France,  October  8,  1918.  With  the  remark  *I  will  get  them,' 
Sergeant  Gregory  seized  a  rifle  and  a  trench-mortar  shell,  which 
he  used  as  a  hand  grenade,  left  his  detachment  of  the  Trench- 
Mortar  platoon,  and,  advancing  ahead  of  the  infantry,  cap-

the  Third  BattaUon,  116th  Infantry  (It  haa  not  been  possible  to  trace  the  actual 
movements  of  this  detachment  from  official  reports) : 

"After  cleaning  up  the  Malbrouck  Hill  positions  and  the  southwestern  comer  of  Bra- 
bant Woods,  Captain  Johnston,  finding  no  support  troops  in  his  rear  turned  again 
into  his  sector,  and  joined  by  Lieutenant  Stone,  with  a  portion  of  Company  K, 
advanced  two  kilometers  toward  the  Normal  Objective,  before  being  ordered  in 
the  late  afternoon  to  retire  to  his  previously  designated  position  on  the  Intermediate 
ObjecUve."

THE  NORMAL  OBJECTIVE  TAKEN 

tured  a  machine  gun  and  three  of  the  enemy.  Advancing  still 
farther  from  the  machine  gun  nest,  he  captured  a  7.5-centimeter 
mountain  howitzer,  and  entering  a  dugout  in  the  immediate 
vicinity,  single  handed  captured  nineteen  of  the  enemy.** 

The  115th  found  somewhat  easier  going  on  its  part  of  the 
sector.  When  it  reached  the  Intermediate  Objective  on  schedule, 
the  Second  Battalion  passed  through  the  First  as  ordered.  The 
Second  BattaUon  then  pressed  on  to  the  Normal  Objective. 
For  about  a  kilometer  north  of  the  Intermediate  Objective  the 
ground  was  open  and  rolling  and  beyond  the  opening  could  be 
seen  the  southern  edge  of  the  Bois  de  Consenvoye.  The  enemy 
held  this  line  strongly  and  put  up  a  stiff  resistance,  but  was  soon 
overcome,  with  the  loss  of  many  prisoners,  and  much  materiel. 
Company  E,  on  the  right  of  the  Second  Battalion,  moved  steadily 
forward  to  the  Normal  Objective,  taking  several  ammunition 
dumps,  one  engineer  dump  and  a  tramway,  while  Company  H, 
on  the  left,  after  overcoming  a  number  of  machine  gun  nests, 
reached  the  Normal  Objective  about  16:30  o'clock  (4:30  p.  m.). 

It  was  for  heroic  conduct  in  this  advance  that  Lieutenant 
Patrick  Regan  and  Automatic  Rifleman  Henry  G.  Costin,  of 
Company  H,  115th  Infantry,  were  awarded  the  two  other  Con- 
gressional Medals  of  Honor,  won  by  the  division.  The  story 
best  can  be  told  in  the  words  of  their  official  citations :

.  Consenvoye,  France,  October  8,  1918.  While  leading  his  platoon 
against  a  strong  enemy  machine-gun  nest  which  had  held  up  the 
advance  of  two  companies,  Lieutenant  Regan  divided  his  men 
into  three  groups,  sending  one  group  to  either  flank,  and  he  himself 
attacking  with  an  automatic  rifle  team  from  the  front.  Two  of  the 
team  were  killed  outright,  while  Lieutenant  Regan  and  the  third 
man  were  seriously  wounded,  the  latter  unable  to  advance.  Al- 
though severely  wounded,  Lieutenant  Regan  dashed  with  empty 
pistol  into  the  machine-gun  nest,  capturing  30  Austrian  gunners 
and  4  machine  guns.  This  gallant  deed  permitted  the  companies 
to  advance  avoiding  a  terrific  enemy  fire.  Despite  his  wounds,  he 
continued  to  lead  his  platoon  forward  until  ordered  to  the  rear  by 
his  commanding  officer."

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Consenvoye,  France,  October  8,  1918.  Wlicn  the  advance  of  his 
platoon  had  been  held  up  by  machine  gun  fire  and  request  was 
made  for  an  automatic  rifle  team  to  charge  the  nest,  Private  Costin 
was  first  to  volunteer.  Advancing  with  his  team,  under  terrific 
fire  of  enemy  artillery,  machine  guns  and  trench-mortars,  he  con- 
tinued after  all  his  comrades  had  become  casualties  and  he  himself 
had  been  seriously  wounded.  He  operated  his  rifle  until  he  col- 
lapsed. His  act  resulted  in  the  capture  of  about  100  prisoners 
and  several  machine  guns.  He  succumbed  from  the  effects  of  his 
wounds  shortly  after  the  accomplishment  of  his  heroic  deed." 

It  will  be  remembered  that  the  third  line  battalions  had  been 
ordered  to  remain  on  the  Intermediate  Objective  until  the  Nor- 
mal Objective  had  been  gained  by  the  second  line  battalions. 
The  Third  Battalion  of  the  115th,  receiving  no  information  from 
the  Second  that  the  Normal  Objective  had  been  gained,  began 
its  advance  at  12:30.  Bearing  too  much  to  the  left  it  entered 
the  Bois  de  Consenvoye  on  the  extreme  left,  and  overcoming 
some  machine  gun  opposition^  pressed  quickly  on  to  the  Nor- 
mal Objective  where  it  dug  in  and  established  liaison  with  the 
33rd  Division  on  the  left. 

'  The  character  of  the  fighting,  on  the  8th,  as  well  as  the  self-sacrificing  spirit  of  the  men» 
best  can  be  judged  by  the  following  citations  for  the  Distinguished  Service  Cross: 

"James  B.  Boyle^  first  lieutenant,  115th  Infantry.  For  extraordinary  heroism  in  action, 
near  Verdun,  France,  October  8,  1918.  During  an  offensive  of  his  organization  on 
the  edge  of  Consenvoye  Wood,  he  led  a  flanking  attack  on  the  enemy,  and  by  skill- 
ful handling  of  his  platoon  captured  two  machine  guns  and  opened  a  way  for  an 
advance  which  resulted  in  clearing  the  wood  of  the  enemy  and  greaUy  assisted  in 
obtaining  our  objective.  Later,  he  was  severely  wounded  while  leading  a  wire- 
carrying  party  tut>ugh  a  heavy  artillery  barrage,  refusing  first  aid  until  a  soldier 
wounded  at  uie  same  time  had  been  attended  to."

in  action  near  Verdun,  France,  October  8,  1918.  While  in  command  of  his  platoon 
during  an  engagement  of  the  29th  Division,  Verdun  Sector,  he  displayed  exceptional 
bravery,  disregarding  his  own  safety,  and  encouraged  his  men  both  by  words  and 
action.  While  leading  his  platoon  in  an  attack  on  a  machine  gun  nest  he  was  in- 
stantly killed,  but  the  attack,  begun  by  him,  continued  and  restdted  in  the  machine 
gun  nest  being  captured."

heroism  in  action  near  Verdun,  France.  During  the  various  offensives  of  this  regi- 
ment in  the  vicinity  of  the  Meuse  River,  he  displayed  the  greatest  of  bravery  and 
coolness.  He  met  his  death  while  leading  a  group  that  silenced  an  enemy  machine 
gun  menacing  his  right  flank." 

"Leroy  Jones,  private,  1st  class.  Company  £,  115th  Infantry.  For  extraordinary  heroism 
in  action  near  Verdun,  France,  October  8,  1918.  While  his  platoon  was  being  held 
up  by  machine  gun  fire  he  voluntarily  left  his  position  and,  crawling  through  intense 
machine  gun  fire,  he,  single  handed,  captured  two  machine  guns,  ^ling  four  of  the

LIAISON  WITH  3SRD  DIVISION 

The  latter  division  according  to  plan,  had  crossed  the  Meuse 
at  Brabant  and  Consenvoye  and  had  taken  up  its  advance, 
on  the  left  of  the  17th  Corps  front,  as  the  fan  shaped  sector  be- 
came larger  with  the  advance  of  the  attacking  lines  in  a  northerly 
direction.    The  crossing  of  the  SSrd  was,  therefore,  dependent

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

upon  the  successful  advance  of  the  29th  and  the  French.  The 
building  of  the  bridges  in  broad  daylight  under  continuous 
artillery  fire  was  in  itself  a  brilliant  piece  of  work.  While  build- 
ing the  Consenvoye  bridge,  which  was  156  feet  long,  in  16  feet 
of  water,  the  men  worked  for  many  hours  under  a  shell 
fire  that  made  it  necessary  for  them  to  wear  their  gas  masks  a 
greater  part  of  the  time.  To  make  matters  worse,  the  mate- 
rial for  the  bridges  had  to  be  brought  up  in  plain  view  of  the 
enemy.  Both  bridges  were  up  on  time,  however.  The  33rd 
began  crossing  the  river,  under  the  protection  of  its  artillery, 
by  9  o'clock  the  morning  of  the  8th.  That  night  units  of  the 
33rd  occupied  the  southern  edge  of  the  Bois  de  Chaumes,  with 
its  line  connected  up  with  the  left. of  the  115th.  The  latter 
regiment  had  withdrawn  its  right  from  the  Normal  Objective  to 
effect  liaison  with  the  116th,  whose  right  was  likewise  refused 
in  order  to  connect  up  with  the  French  on  its  right.  After  the 
Intermediate  Objective  had  been  passed,  the  direction  of  the 
attack  changed  from  north  to  west  of  north.  The  Malbrouck 
ridge  which  runs  practically  north  and  south  marked  the  dividing 
line  between  the  two  regiments,  with  the  115th  on  the  west  of 
the  ridge.  The  ground  to  the  east  of  Malbrouck  Hill  is  rather 
steep,  with  a  number  of  ravines  heading  in  to  the  hill.  As  the 
116th  advanced  over  this  ground  the  attacking  troops  more  or 
less  naturally  followed  the  course  offering  the  fewest  physical 
diflSculties,  with  the  result  that  as  the  attack  progressed  the 
assaulting  battalions  of  the  two  regiments  lost  contact — inci- 
dentally, this  was  not  finally  and  properly  re-established  until 
the  afternoon  of  October  10th,  when  the  leading  elements  of  the 
two  regiments  were  again  connected  up  through  the  efforts  of 
Major  D.  John  Markey,  commanding  the  112th  Machine  Gun 
Battalion.  He,  acting  under  the  orders  of  the  brigade  com- 
mander, secured  a  platoon  of  infantry  from  the  116th  and  cleaned 
up  the  area  between  the  forward  elements  of  the  two  regiments. 
The  French  attacked  nearer  "the  hinge  of  the  gate,"  upon 
which  the  enemy  was  to  swing  back.  A  study  of  the  map  will  show 
that  the  attack  of  the  17th  Corps  was  not  entirely  a  frontal 
attack  but  rather  paralleled,  to  a  certain  extent,  the  enemy's 
front.  It  is  only  fair,  therefore,  to  call  attention  to  the  fact, 
that  strong  defensive  positions  in  the  woods  were  met  on  the 
right  flank  of  the  Corps  sooner  than  positions  of  equal  strength 

[  156  ] 


TEE  ENEMY  COUNTER  ATTACKS 

were  met  on  the  left  flank.  In  any  event,  the  attack  of  the 
French  troops  on  that  flank  did  not  progress  as  scheduled,  and 
the  Corps  commander  directed  that  the  attack  as  planned  be 
continued  the  following  morning. 

Taking  the  situation  as  a  whole  then,  the  end  of  the  first 
day's  fighting  found  the  left  of  the  58th  Brigade  on  the  Normal 
Objective,  with  its  right  refused.  As  a  result  of  the  day's  work 
all  the  Austro-Hungarian  troops  on  our  front  were  killed,  cap- 
tured or  dispersed,  and  the  1st  Austro-Hungarian  Division  prac- 
tically was  put  out  of  the  fighting.  The  32nd  Saxon  Division, 
it  is  thought  relieved  them,  for  at  least,  one  regiment  of  Saxons, 
the  102nd,  was  in  the  first  day's  fighting  and  suffered  heavily. 
The  number  of  prisoners  actually  captured  by  the  29th  Division 
in  the  first  day's  attack  will  never  definitely  be  known,  for  the 
prisoners  taken  by  the  58th  Brigade,  while  the  brigade  was 
serving  with  the  18th  French  Division,  were  sent  to  the  head- 
quarters of  that  division.  This  arrangement  was  changed  after 
the  first  hours  of  the  attack,  when  orders  were  issued  directing 
that  the  prisoners  captured  by  the  58th  Brigade  be  sent  through 
our  own  division  headquarters.  As  a  result  of  this  at  1:30  the 
next  afternoon  we  had  counted  1572  prisoners,  which  had  passed 
through  between  9 :30,  October  8th,  and  1 :30,  October  9th. 

The  night  of  October  8-9th  was  spent  without  incident,  the 
troops  consolidating  the  line  already  gained,  and  making  prepara- 
tions to  resist  counter  attacks.  The  usual  shelling  was  continu- 
ously maintained  throughout  the  night. 

The  morning  of  the  9th  found  officers  and  men  ready  to  take 
up  the  advance  again.  At  dawn  a  heavy  fog  hid  the  opposing 
forces.  Despite  this  the  expected  counter  attack  was  soon 
received.  Although  appearing  at  some  parts  of  the  front  to  be 
making  purely  local  counter  thrusts,  the  enemy  in  reality  exe- 
cuted a  general  counter  attack  over  a  front  of  some  ten  kilo- 
meters, from  the  Bois  de  Chaume  to  the  Bois  de  Caures.  Twenty 
battalions  participated  from  five  different  divisions.  Captured 
orders  of  the  enemy  contained  this  injunction:  "Retake  the 
main  line  of  resistance,  and  at  the  very  least,  the  Volker  Stel- 
lung"  (his  third  prepared  line  of  resistance).  The  Germans 
gained  no  ground  by  the  counter  attack,  but  left  in  the  hands  of 
the  corps  some  1000  prisoners,  many  rifles  and  grenades  and 
much  small  arms  ammunition,  two  15  cm.  guns,  two  minne-

werfers,  one  77  mm.  gun,  two  anti-tank  guns,  and  scores  of 
machine  guns.  The  last  named  immediately  were  put  into  opera- 
tion against  their  former  owners. 

During  the  remainder  of  the  day,  our  lines  were  advanced^ 
to  the  Ncvmal  Objective,  the  regimental  P.  C.*s  moved  forward, 
our  positions  were  consolidated  and  strengthened  and  prepara- 
tions were  made  to  resist  further  counter-attacks.  The  night 
of  October  9-lOth,  found  the  left  of  our  line  resting  on  the  Normal 
Objective,  with  our  right  slightly  refused  through  the  Bois  de 
Consenvoye  and  connected  up  with  the  French  in  that  sector. 
Major  Alexander,  commanding  the  First  Battalion,  of  the  116th 
Infantry,  was  wounded  during  the  day,  and  had  to  be  evacuated 
that  night.  Captain  William  A.  Stack  of  Company  B,  assumed 
conmiand,  and  First  Lieutenant  Moring,  took  over  Company 
B.  This  company  had  done  excellent  work,  during  the  two 
days*  advance.  The  manner  in  which  the  private  soldier  was  per- 
forming his  duties  may  be  seen  from  the  following  citation  for 
the  D.  S.  C.  of  Private  Israel  J.  Chamberlain,  of  Company  B: 

**  For  extraordinary  heroism  in  action  in  Bois  Bossois,  France, 
October  9,  1918.  Private  Chamberlain  went  through  an  open 
country  under  heavy  machine  gun  fire,  to  ascertain  whether  friendly 
troops  were  ahead  of  his  regiment,  after  unknown  soldiers  had  been 
observed;  he  was  urged  by  the  French  troops  on  the  flank  not  to 
make  the  return  trip,  as  certain  death  seemed  sure  to  be  the  out- 
come, but  without  hesitation,  returned  with  information  which 
resulted  in  the  wounding  of  1  of  the  enemy,  the  killing  of  2,  and

sion  would  exploit  the  success  gained.  It  had  been  contemplated 
that  the  57th  Brigade  would  then  pass  through  the  58th  and  take 
up  the  advance  with  fresh  troops.  The  stiff  resistance  met  by  the 
French  on  the  right,  however,  had  made  this  plan  impracticable.  The 
58th  accordingly  was  directed  to  continue  the  advance,  while  the 
57th  was  used  in  the  sector  of  the  French.  On  the  night  of  October 
8-9 th  the  118th  Infantry,  under  Lieutenant-Colonel  William  R. 
Pope,  of  the  Regular  Army,  and  the  111th  Machine  Gun  Bat- 
talion, under  Major  Tydings,  had  moved  across  the  Meuse, 
bivouacking  in  the  C6te  des  Roches.  The  114th  Infantry  \mder, 
lieutenant-Colonel  Hobart  B.  Brown',  was  bivouacked  in  the 
C6te  de  L'Oie,  with  the  110th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  which 
was  under  Major  Washburn.  On  October  10th,  at  3  o'clock 
under  orders  of  the  18th  French  Division,  to  which  General 
Claudel,  commanding  the  17th  French  Army  Corps,  had  assigned 
them,  the  118th  Infantry  and  the  111th  Machine  Gun  Battalion 
were  moved  forward.  The  Third  Battalion  moved  to  the  vicinity 
of  Ormont  Farm,  where  it  took  its  position  about  9  o'clock  in 
some  old  German  trenches,  and  prepared  to  attack.  The  Second 
Battalion,  under  Major  Russell  P.  Freeman,  arrived  at  its  posi- 
tion, the  southern  edge  of  the  Ravin  de  Molleville,  to  the  left  of 
the  Third  Battalion,  and  with  the  116th  on  its  left,  at  about 
11:20  o'clock.  The  First  Battalion,  under  Major  James  G. 
Knight,  with  the  Headquarters  Company,  was  moved  up  to  the 
Ravin  de  Boussieres  in  reserve. 

At  11  o'clock,  the  same  morning,  after  an  artillery  prepara- 
tion of  twenty  minutes,  the  Third  Battalion,  with  Companies 
K,  under  the  command  of  Captain  Peter  Stone,  and  M,  under 
the  command  of  Lieutenant  Frederick  J.  Trestrail,  in  the  assault 
position,  and  Companies  L,  under  the  command  of  Lieutenant 
Charles  Grassey,  and  I,  under  the  command  of  Lieutenant 
Christopher  C.  McMahon,  in  support,  with  the  regimental 
Machine  Gun  Company,  under  Captain  Bernard  J.  Weigard, 
launched  an  attack  against  the  northern  edge  of  the  Bois  de 
Chines  and  the  Bois  de  la  Reine.    The  battalion  commander, 

'  Colonel  Brown  was  transferred  by  orders  from  G.  H.  Q.  to  the  Provost  Marshal  Gen- 
eral's Department  on  the  15th  (S.  O.  263,  par.  3,  16  Oct.  18),  and  General  Morton 
placed  lieutenant-Colonel  Minnigerode,  of  the  Regular  Army,  in  command  (S.  O. 
270,  par  10, 23  Oct.  18).  Colonel  Brown  was  originally  commander  of  the  New  Jersey 
Squadron  of  Cavalry,  and  afterwards,  commanded  the  Military  Police  of  the 
20th  Division.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Captain  Clyde  E.  Winterton,  brought  suddenly  to  a  new  part 
of  the  sector  without  time  to  familiarize  himself  with  conditions, 
was  greatly  handicapped  by  lack  of  definite  information  as  to 
the  exact  location  of  the  enemy.  The  terrain  was  extremely 
difficult  for  an  advance, — a.  steep  upward  slope  covered,  for  the 
most  part,  with  woods  and  thick  underbrush.  For  the  first 
half  hour  the  enemy's  resistance  consisted  mostly  of  concen- 
trated machine  gun  fire  and  sniping  from  concealed  positions, 
then,  in  response  to  a  signal  rocket,  the  enemy  artillery  put 
down  a  strong  protective  artillery  bai^age  in  front  of  our  first 
waves,  while  a  Boche  plane  directed  a  deadly  and  accurate  fire 
on  the  supporting  troops.  The  French  advance  on  the  right 
having  met  with  stiff  resistance,  while  the  rest  of  our  line  was 
pushing  ahead,  the  right  of  the  attacking  battalion  was  exposed 
to  an  enfilading  machine  gun  fire  from  the  Bois  d'Ormont.  Two 
companies  of  the  reserve  battalion  had  to  be  put  in  to  protect 
that  flank.  Despite  the  stubborn  resistance  of  the  enemy's 
machine  gunners,  most  of  whom  were  taken  prisoners  or  killed 
at  their  guns,  the  battalion  reached  its  objective  at  17:40  o'clock 
(5:40  p.  M.).  It  had  sustained  heavy  losses  in  killed  and 
wounded,  but  immediately  it  organized  the  position,  by  con- 
necting up  a  line  of  shell  holes,  and  strengthened  them  against 
counter  attacks. 

Prior  to  the  attack,  the  Machine  Gun  Company  of  the  llSth* 
had  laid  down  three  barrages  in  advance  of  the  front  lines,  and 
at  Zero  Hour  the  barrage  was  lifted  to  the  edge  of  the  woods 
until  the  troops  came  within  the  safety  zone.  Two  platoons  of 
the  Machine  Gun  Company  followed  the  assaulting  waves,  pro- 
tecting both  flanks. 

This  operation  netted  the  113th  seventy-two  prisoners  from 
the  102nd  Saxon  Regiment,  3  field  pieces,  and  a  combat  wagon 
filled  with  range  finders  and  other  technical  instruments.  Unusu- 
ally strong  resistance  had  been  encountered  by  the  French  in 
the  Bois  d'Ormont,  and  only  a  slight  penetration  into  the  woods 
was  made  by  them.  Two  strong  counter  attacks,  one  on  the 
Ravin  de  Molleville  and  the  other  on  the  Ravin  de  la  Reine  were 
repulsed  during  the  afternoon  of  the  10th  by  the  113th. 

The  arrival  of  the  regiment  in  position  in  the  C6te  des  Roches 
as  well  as  its  first  entry  into  battle  is  told  interestingly  and  with

THE  113TH  MOVES  INTO  POSITION 

substantial  accuracy,  by  the  historians^  of  Company  M,  113th 
Infantry : 

"Arriving  at  our  position  in  reserve  about  2  o'clock  in  the  morning 
of  October  9th,  we  spread  our  blankets  on  a  sloping  hillside  in 
trenches  and  in  shell  holes  of  enormous  size,  and  slept  until  late 
in  the  morning.  We  were  all  much  interested  in  a  couple  of  prisoners 
who  had  given  themselves  up  as  we  entered  the  valley.  They  had 
been  in  a  near-by  dugout,  which  had  been  captured  two  days 
before,  and  had  failed  to  retreat  with  their  comrades,  but  had  stayed 
in  the  dugout  until  their  supply  of  food  had  given  out.  One  was  a 
dilapidated  looking  Austrian  and  the  other  a  bright  young  German 
of  about  sixteen  years  of  age.  The  young  German  said  he  had 
been  told  when  he  left  home  he  would  be  well  treated  if  he  fell 
into  the  hands  of  the  Americans,  and  he  seized  the  opportunity  to 
stay  in  the  dugout  when  his  comrades  retreated.  He  reported 
that  his  comrades  were  deserting  and  fleeing.  This  report  naturally 
encouraged  us  greatly,  aiid  we  all  thought,  judging  by  the  ground 
taken  by  the  115th  and  116th  Infantry  regiments  of  our  division, 
and  the  reports  of  the  prisoners  we  would  have  a  picnic.  C6te  des 
Roches  was  completely  torn  up  with  shell  holes,  but  to-day  things 
were  quiet,  although  shells  came  over  occasionally.  Considerable 
inconvenience  was  caused  by  the  failure  of  our  supply  trains  to 
come  up.  The  night  we  crossed  the  Meuse,  the  Boche  scored  a 
direct  hit  upon  the  pontoon  bridge,  shortly  after  our  regiment 
had  crossed,  destroying  the  bridge  and  thus  preventing  our  supply 
trains  from  reaching  us. 

''Many  found  the  shell  holes  a  convenient  place  in  which  to  wash 
and  clean  up.  Most  of  us  obtained  water  from  the  Meuse  for 
drinking  purposes,  although  we  well  knew  that  it  was  the  grave 
of  hundreds.  Along  the  roadside  which  ran  near  the  river,  the 
Red  Cross  had  established  an  aid  station,  where  injured  were 
constantly  being  brought  from  the  front  and  given  medical  and 
surgical  treatment. 

''We  had  waited  in  vain  all  day  for  the  arrival  of  our  kitchen,  con- 
sequently we  had  no  breakfast,  no  dinner  and  no  prospects  of 
supper.  The  kitchen  had  gotten  stuck  in  a  shell  hole,  and  there 
was  no  telling  when  it  would  be  brought  up.  Under  these  conditions, 
permission  was  granted  to  eat  the  reserve  rations,  which  few  of 
us  had  left  by  this  time.  The  evening  was  spent  around  the  camp 
fires,  talking  of  our  past  experiences;  little  was  said  of  the  future. 

"At  4:00  A.  M.,  October  10th,  we  were  'up  and  at  it,'  rolling  our 
packs  and  making  ready  for  our  departure.  Half  an  hour  later, 
the  regiment  was  silently  marching  over  that  hilly  ravine  to  take 
up  its  position:  the  Third  Battalion  in  a  former  German  trench,

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

this  side  of^  Ormont  Farm;  the  Second  Battalion  at  the  southern 
edge  of  Ravin  de  Molleville  with  the  1 16th  Infantry  on  its  left,  and 
the  Third  Battalion  on  its  right,  with  the  First  Battalion  and 
Headquarters  Co.  in  reserve  at  Ravin  de  Boussieres. 

''Captain  Winterton  was  now  in  command  of  the  Third  Battalion 
and  of  the  attached  regimental  machine  gun  company.  We  marched 
up  through  'Death's  Valley/  up  a  near-by  hillside,  about  1  kilo- 
meter this  side  of  Ormont  Farm,  where  we  halted  a  few  moments 
to  obtain  our  bearings.  It  was  here  that  most  of  us  received  our 
first  real  taste  of  lachrymatory  gas.  Eveiyone  began  sneezing, 
and  breathing  became  somewhat  difficult.  It  became  necessary 
to  wear  our  gas  masks.  This  was  more  a  source  of  amusement 
than  anything  else,  and  the  company  soon  resumed  its  march  through 
the  valley.  We  had  no  guides,  and  hardly  knew  where  we  were 
going.  We  only  knew  approximately  where  our  positions  lay, 
and  no  one  could  be  found  who  did  know.  Finally  the  Captain 
found  himself  wandering  alone  beyond  his  position  into  No  Man's 
Land,  and  quite  miraculously  escaped  drawing  enemy  machine 
gun  fire.  In  the  meantime,  the  men  sat  beside  the  roadside  awaiting 
further  orders,  and  wondering  when  we  were  going  to  eat,  and 
talking  about  the  big  meals  we  were  going  to  order  when  we  returned 
to  God's  Country. 

"While  we  were  waiting  along  the  roadside,  just  this  side  of  the 
intersection  of  the  jump-off  trench,  and  the  road  we  were  on,  a 
few  French  soldiers  made  their  appearance,  and  pointed  out  to 
our  officers  the  enemy's  positions,  and  discussed  in  general  the 
impending  attack.  One  Frenchman,  old-looking  but  quite  energetic, 
attracted  our  particular  attention  at  this  time.  He  was  most 
enthusiastic  in  pointing  out  the  enemy's  positions  and  in  giving 
information.  We  mention  this  because  a  day  or  two  later,  orders 
were  received  at  the  front  to  be  on  the  watch  for  this  individual, 
as  he  was  suspected  of  being  a  spy,  since  his  French  uniform  had 
been  discarded  and  he  himself  was  missing. 

'TTie  line  we  were  now  occupying  had  been  in  the  enemy's  posses- 
sion only  the  day  before.  He  had  built  a  considerable  number  of  cor- 
rugated iron  shacks  all  along  'Death's  Valley.'  From  one  of  them 
was  taken  a  quantity  of  printed  matter,  consisting  principally  of 
letters,  postal  cards  and  a  Bible.  This  little  shack  was  immediately 
converted  into  a  first  aid  station. 

"At  9:00  o'clock,  the  attacking  companies  K  and  M  took  their 

fNsitions  in  the  jump-off  trench,  in  combat  groups.  Companies 
and  L  followed  in  the  rear,  in  similar  combat  groups,  to  follow 
us  up  in  support.  Captain  Winterton,  acting  Major,  took  his 
post  at  the  large  dugout  used  as  the  Battalion  P.  C.  Litter  bearers, 
medical  corps  men  and  scouts  assembled  nearby,  awaiting  the  fast

PREPARATIONS  FOR  THE  ATTACK 

approaching  critical  hour.  Machine  guns  stationed  near  the  Bat- 
tahon  P.  C.  were  ready  to  aid  in  sending  over  a  barrage  upon 
signal. 

"An  apology  for  a  French  regimen t\  in  numbers  actually  only  about 
a  dozen  or  two  men,  took  position  on  the  right  of  Company  M, 
and  covered  that  portion  of  the  trenches  on  the  right  of  the  narrow 
guage  track. 

"The  1st  platoon  of  Company  M,  under  Lieutenant  Webb,  joined 
up  with  the  French  on  our  right,  while  Company  K  was  situated 
on  Company  M's  left.  It  was  not  until  9:45  o'clock  that  all  the 
men  were  assigned  their  definite  positions.  At  10:45  the  artillery 
was  to  furnish  a  15  minute  barrage  before  11  o'clock. 

"In  the  meantime,  the  men  unslung  their  packs,  and  anxiously 
awaited  the  arrival  of  the  'great  moment.'  The  officers  were  busily 
engaged  in  trying  to  obtain  information  in  regard  to  the  enemy, 
but  little  information  could  be  obtained.  It  was  known  that  there 
were  a  couple  of  machine  gun  nests  in  the  woods  to  the  left  of 
Ormont  Farm,  and  also  enemy  forces  somewhere  in  the  Bois  de  la 
Heine,  but  just  where  they  were  or  how  strong  they  were,  or 
whether  Germans  or  Austrians  confronted  us,  was  not  definitely 
known.  Of  course,  it  was  not  always  possible  to  obtain  this  in- 
formation, especially,  as  in  this  case,  when  the  enemy  had  retreated 
so  rapidly.  As  previously  mentioned,  the  58th  Brigade  of  our 
division  had  driven  the  enemy  from  the  C6te  des  Roches  to  this 
point  during  the  past  two  days,  a  distance  of  about  five  kilometers. 

^The  men  were  now  resting  all  along  the  line,  some  leaning  against 
the  sides  of  the  trenches,  while  others  were  filling  canteens  with 
much  needed  water  obtained  from  a  near-by  dugout.  Whether 
or  not  the  packs  should  be  discarded  was  the  subject  of  consider- 
able discussion.  We  knew  it  was  against  military  rules  to  throw 
them  away,  but  we  knew  that  our  lives  might  depend  on  our  ability 
to  move  and  act  quickly,  and  the  majority  of  us  'ditched'  them. 
We  will  not  attempt  to  describe  our  thoughts  at  this  time.  We 
knew  what  was  ahead  of  us,  and  our  emotions  were  kept  within. 

"The  hour  of  10:40  arrived,  and  Lieutenant  Frederick  T.  Trestrail* 
took  command  of  the  company.  In  five  more  minutes  the  barrage 
was  to  go  over.     Orders  came  to  fix  bayonets  and  sling  packs. 

^  Evidently  this  was  a  French  combat  liaison  detachment. 

'  Lieutenant  TredraU  behaved  with  great  gallantry  in  this  engagement.  Having  been 
twice  wounded  he  refused  to  leave  his  command  and  later  was  instantly  killed. 
His  citation  for  the  D.  S.  C.  reads  as  follows:  '*When  the  advance  of  his  company 
was  checked  bv  terrific  enfilading  fire  from  machine  guns,  he  halted  his  men  and 
with  great  coolness  ascended  a  hUl  to  ascertain  the  location  of  the  enemy  machine 
gun  nests.  He  had  barely  reached  the  top  of  the  hill  when  he  was  killed  by  an 
exploding  shell."

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY  NINTH  DIVISION 

The  barrage  started,  but  it  was  not  as  large  as  any  of  those  we 
had  witnessed  in  Alsace,  and  was  not  just  what  we  had  thought 
of  as  a  barrage.  It  was  but  a  fifteen  minute  bombardment,  and 
certainly  little,  if  any,  damage  was  done  the  enemy.  It  was  an 
easy  matter  for  him  to  dive  down  into  his  deep  dugouts  and  come 
up  unscratched  upon  the  completion  of  the  bombardment. 

'"Suddenly  the  bombardment  stopped  and  a  strange  silence  ensued. 
Zero  hour  had  arrived!  *Up  and  at  it!'  'Let's  go!'  was  shouted 
all  down  the  line  and  over  the  bank  madly  dashed  the  1st  and  4th 
platoons,  with  Lieutenant  Webb  in  command. 

"  'Good  Luck,  Bentley!'  someone  shouted.  He  smiled  that  big, 
broad,  lovable  smile  and  went  to  an  immediate  death. 

"Scarcely  five  minutes  had  elapsed,  when  Lieutenant  Webb, 
Sergeant  Sweeney,  and  a  rapidly  increasing  number  of  others  came 
staggering  and  dragging  themselves  back,  seriously  wounded,  some 
of  them  fatally.  It  was  a  disheartening  sight  to  the  men  of  the 
2nd  and  Srd  platoons,  as  they  looked  out  in  front  of  them  as  they 
went  over,  to  see  their  friends  and  comrades  slain  before  them. 

"The  1st  and  4th  platoons,  the  attacking  waves,  were  met  almost 
immediately  upon  going  over,  with  a  heavy  machine  gun  fire  from 
a  camouflaged  trench,  not  over  150  yards  ahead,  which  none  of 
us  knew  about.  A  sweeping  fire  of  shot  and  shell  poured  from 
Bois  d'Ormont  and  Bois  de  la  Heine  upon  our  platoons,  rushing 
one  moment  and  crawling  the  next,  but  ever  onward.  Suddenly 
a  barrage  rocket  went  up  from  the  enemy's  trenches,  and  a  rain 
of  big  shells  from  his  artillery  was  the  immediate  answer. 

"The  company,  in  combat  groups,  with  considerably  depleted  ranks, 
kept  pressing  slowly  forward.  A  few  short  dashes,  and  the  enemy's 
first  position,  200  yards  in  front  of  our  jump-off  trench,  was  reached. 
It  was  a  series  of  small  posts,  large  enough  to  accommodate  three 
or  four  men  with  a  machine  gun,  lying  just  over  the  crest  of  a 
little  knoll,  and  camouflaged  with  branches  and  partially  protected 
with  tin  and  wire. 

"Ten  terrified  Huns  who  had  left  their  posts  as  the  company 
reached  their  trench,  came  leaping  out  with  upheld  hands,  crying 
'Kamerad.'  These  were  our  first,  but  by  no  means  our  last,  prisoners. 
Louis  London  could  scarcely  be  restrained  from  shooting  them 
down,  but  Lieutenant  Webb,  who  lay  near  so  seriously  wounded 
that  we  had  accepted  his  death  as  inevitable,  ordered  him  to  spare 
them.  ^  They  were  undoubtedly  the  very  Grermans  who  had  wounded 
the  Lieutenant.  The  Huns  appeared  from  unexpected  places 
when  we  were  almost  on  top  of  them,  to  give  themselves  up  as 
prisoners.  They  were  sent  to  the  jump-off  trench,  where  they 
were  searched  by  the  Scouts,  and  taken  charge  of  by  Lieutenant

Paulette,  who  compelled  them  to  act  as  much-needed  stretcher 
bearers  for  our  wounded.  This  they  did  willingly  and  carefully. 
Very  few  stretchers  were  available,  so  blankets  and  shelter  tents 
were  used  to  carry  the  wounded. 

''Companies  K^  and  M  kept  on,  supported  now  by  Companies  I 
and  L.  A  Bbche  plane  appeared  overhead,  dropping  markers  to 
direct  their  artillery  fire  more  accurately  upon  us  as  we  advanced. 
The  French  advance  had  not  kept  up  with  ours,  which  left  our 
whole  right  flank  exposed  to  a  heavy  machine  gun  fire  from  em- 
placements and  from  trees  in  the  Bois  d'Ormont. 

''Captain  Stone,  in  command  of  Company  K'  on  our  left,  had  ad- 
vanced his  company  almost  up  into  the  Bois  de  la  Reine,  not  know- 
ing that  we  were  waiting  for  the  French  line  to  come  up.  We 
communicated  with  him,  explaining  the  situation,  and  the  line 
was  consolidated  as  much  as  possible.  The  attacking  line  had 
now  to  be  diverted  toward  the  east. 

"Sergeant  Sweeten  assembled  Sergeants  Wittnebert  and  Simms, 
and  Corporal  Spanburg  and  Privates  Baker,  Wuerdig  and  Anderson 
and  continued  slowly  along  the  narrow  gauge  track,  keeping  up 
connection  with  Company  K  on  the  left.  The  members  of  the

ner, he  was  accompanying  the  left  assault  platoon  of  his  company  during  the  advance 
through  the  woods,  when  it  was  fired  on  by  an  enemy  machine  gun.  As  soon  as  the 
gun  opened  fire  the  members  of  the  platoon  scattered  and  attempted  to  flank  the 
gun,  but  Private  Davis  pushed  on  ahead,  being  the  first  to  reach  tne  nest,  attacked 
it  single  handed,  and  killed  the  four  enemy  gunners.  His  gallant  act  enabled  his 
platoon  to  continue  the  advance." 


"Harold  A.  Lewis,  sergeant.  Company  K,  118th  Infantry.  For  extraordinary  heroism  in 
action  near  Ravine  de  la  Reine,  north  of  Samogneux,  France,  October  10,  1918. 
After  his  platoon  commander  had  been  wounded^  Serseant  Lewis,  althou^  twice 
wounded  iiimself,  continued  to  lead  the  platoon  until  its  objective  was  reached. 
By  his  bravery  and  persistency  the  platoon,  greatly  outnumbered,  succeeded  in  over- 
coming the  enemy.' 

"George  Stuart,  corporal.  Company  K,  118th  Infantry.  For  extraordinary  heroism  in 
action  near  Ravine  de  la  Reme,  north  of  Samogneux,  France,  October  10,  1918. 
Under  difficult  circumstances,  he  led  his  sauad  to  its  objective,  althou|^  they  were 
greatly  outnumbered  by  the  enemy.  Single  handed  he  afterwards  kiUed  six  of  the 
enemy  and  captured  two  machine  guns.'

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

some  had  not  reached  this  far,  some  had  gone  on  further,  while  one 
in  charge  of  Sergeant  MaiUey  had  been  checked  at  the  entrance 
to  the  woods. 

"Private  Wuerdig,  who  was  at  the  extreme  right  of  Sergeant 
Sweeten's  group,  which  had  now  advanced  about  three-fourths  of  a 
kilometer  luong  Uie  track,  'hollered'  for  Sweeten  to  come  over.  Upon 
reaching  Wuerdig,  Sweeten  found  23  Grermans,  equipped  with  packs 
and  fully  armed,  apparently  on  their  way  up  to  support  their  advanced 
positions,  which,  unknown  to  them,  were  nearly  wiped  out;  thus 
taken  by  surprise,  and  not  knowing  the  strength,  or  more  accurately, 
the  weakness,  of  our  group,  they  threw  up  their  hands  without 
offering  any  resistance.  One  Grerman  said  'souvenirs,  kamerad,' 
pointing  to  his  helmet.  This  remark  nearly  cost  him  his  life.  This 
was  not  a  time  for  souvenirs.  It  was  life  or  death.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  most  of  the  souvenirs,  and  there  were  many  to  be  had. 
were  picked  up  by  the  men  in  the  rear.  These  prisoners  were 
turned  over  to  Private  McDonald  to  be  taken  to  the  rear. 

*'It  was  now  about  5:30  P.  M.  We  could  hear  some  Germans  in 
front  of  us  'hollering*.  Corporal  Stuart,  of  Company  K,  thinking 
they  wanted  to  surrender,  ordered  the  men  to  cease  firing.  He 
shouted  to  them — 'Do  you  want  to  surrender?'  They  made  a 
reply  which  rio  one  could  interpret,  followed  in  a  minute  or  so  by  a 
defiant  challenge  in  English,  'Come  on,  you  American  DevUs.' 
The  Americans  accepted  the  invitation,  and  drove  them  across  the 
adjoining  valley  into  the  Bois  de  Belleu. 

"Gradually  what  was  left  of  Company  M  began  to  arrive.  By 
nightfall,  there  was  but  a  mere  handful  of  men  to  connect  up  with 
Company  K  on  the  left  and  a  part  of  Company  I  on  the  right. 
Posts  were  established  along  the  northerly  end  of  Bois  de  la  Reine, 
our  objective,  the  point  we  had  set  out  to  reach,  and  the  point  we 
did  reach,  in  spite  of  the  bitter  opposition  we  encountered.  Com- 
pany M ,  in  its  first  and  only  real  big  conflict,  had  proven  the  kind 
of  stuff  it  was  made  of,  and  had  made  its  contribution  to  the 
victory." 

The  113th  Infantry  by  this  time  had  relieved  the  116th  of 
that  portion  of  the  ground  occupied  by  the  latter  east  of  meri- 
dian line  26  and  was  developing  its  attack  to  the  north-east. 
The  58th  Brigade  simultaneously  was  pushing  north  and  north- 
west, in  liaison  with  the  33rd  Division  on  its  left,  to  secure  the 
Bois  de  Chaume  and  to  take  the  Bois  Plat  Ch6ne,  the  observa- 
tion post  at  Richene,  and  the  MoUeville  Farm.  The  115th  was 
on  the  left  and  the  116th  on  the  right  of  the  brigade  front.  The 
First  Battalion  of  the  115th  passed  through  the  Second  at  6

left  agamst  Bichene  Hill,  with  the  Third  Battalion,  in  turn, 
advancing  from  its  former  position.  The  First  Battalion  ad- 
vanced slowly  but  steadily,  but  the  Third  was  held  back  along 
the  Consenvoye-d'Etraye  Road  by  intense  fire  from  the  edge 
of  the  Bois  Plat  ChSne,  and  asked  the  assistance  of  the  support- 
ing artillery  to  reduce  it.  After  fifteen  minutes  of  artUlery  fire 
these  hastily  constructed,  temporary  emplacements  were  reduced, 
and  the  advance  resumed  without  much  resistance.  The  First 
Battalion,  though  encountering  considerable  machine  gun  fire 
from  the  southern  edge  of  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague, 
worked  slowly  up  through  the  eastern  part  of  the  woods.  The 
Third  Battalion  swept  on  over  the  Richene  Hill^  and  captured

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY  NINTH  DIVISION 

many  prisoners  in  the  large  dugouts  on  the  northern  slope.  Here 
the  line  dug  in  and  held.  The  resistance  on  the  right  of  the  line 
was  continually  increasing  and  the  116th  had  not  advanced, 
but  was  still  holding  the  northern  edge  of  the  Bossois  Bois. 
The  night  of  the  10-1 1th,  therefore,  found  the  115th  established 
on  a  line,  which  speaking  roughly,  bent  around  the  forward 
slope  of  the  Richene  Hill,  and  connected  up  with  the  116th, 
whose  line  fell  away  to  the  right  to  connect  up  with  the  left  of 
the  118th. 

That  the  deeds  of  sacrifice  and  heroism,  which  were  per- 
formed during  those  trying  days  were  not  confined  to  the  com- 
batant troops  is  eloquently  attested  by  the  following  citations 
of  the  Senior  Medical  Officer  of  the  115th  Infantry,  and  a  pri- 
vate in  his  detachment: 

** Donald  Miner,  major,  Medical  Corps,  attached  to  llSth  Infantry. 
For  extraordinary  heroism  in  action  at  Ormont  Farm,  France,  Oc- 
tober 10,  1918.  He  voluntarily  proceeded  under  heavy  shell  fire  to 
an  advanced  aid  station.  For  four  hours  he  worked  unceasingly 
caring  for  the  wounded  and  evacuating  them.  Finding  that  he 
could  work  more  effectively  without  his  gas  mask  he  discarded  it 
so  that  it  would  not  hinder  him  in  attending  wounded  men." 

'^Warren  C.  Stewart,  private,  Sanitary  Detachment,  115th  Infantry. 
For  extraordinary  heroism  in  action  near  Verdun,  France,  October 
10,  1918.  In  the  Bois  de  Montague,  east  of  the  Meuse,  he  volun- 
tarily and  at  the  risk  of  his  life,  walked  through  an  opening  under 
direct  machine  gun  fire  to  administer  first  aid  to  the  wounded  in 
an  advanced  post.  During  the  entire  offensive  his  conduct  was 
instrumental  in  maintaining  the  morale  of  the  troops  to  which  he 
was  attached." 

As  a  result  of  the  two  days  of  fighting  the  58th  Brigade  had 
advanced  its  lines  approximately  five  kilometers,  and  was  gradu- 
ally pushing  the  enemy  back  upon  the  heights  away  from  the 
river.    They  had  passed  the  prepared  outpost  line  of  the  enemy,

THE  29th  under  its  own  commander  resumes  the  attack — ^WB 

PENETRATE  THE  BOI8  DE  LA  GRANDE  MONTAGNE — THE  ATTACK  ON 
THE     BOIS     d'oRMONT     BY     THE     57tH     BRIGADE. 


The  command  of  the  division,  less  the  57th  Infantry  Brigade, 
which  still,  temporarily,  was  attached  to  the  18th  French  Divi- 
sion, reverted  to  General  Morton,  at  5  o'clock  on  the  morning 
of  October  11th.  In  obedience  to  Field  Orders  No.  19S  at  6 
o'clock  the  same  morning,  after  one  half  hour's  preparatory  fire 
by  the  artillery,  the  division  resumed  the  attack  with  the  33rd 
Division  on  our  left  and  the  57th  Brigade  on  our  right.  The 
115th  Infantry  attacked  between  parallels  24  and  25,  and  the 
116th  now  under  command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  R.  H.  Kelley* 
between  parallels  25  and  26.  A  battery  of  75's  was  assigned  to 
each  regiment.  The  two  regiments  were  to  advance  side  by 
side,  each  havmg  one  battalion,  with  a  machine  gun  company, 
the  37  mm.  and  the  Stokes-Mortar  platoons,  attached,  in  the 
front  line.  Our  objectives  were  the  old  "1st  Objective  of  Ex- 
ploitation"', which  was  a  general  line  from  the  Ravin  de  Moye- 
mont,  to  the  Consenvoye-Etraye  road,  the  line  bulging  in  the 
center  so  as  to  include  within  it  Hill  370,  about  one  kilometer 
north  of  the  MoUeville  Farm  clearing;  and  the  "2nd  Objective 
of  Exploitation,"  a  line  somewhat  paralleling  the  first  and  extend- 
ing into  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague  about  two  kilometers 
further  north.  On  reaching  the  2nd  Objective  of  Exploitation 
the  troops  were  directed  to  entrench  and  prepare  to  hold  that 
position  against  counter  attacks. 

The  advance  was  fairly  rapid  until  the  open  space  north  of 
MoUeville  Farm  was  reached.  There  the  attacking  troops  met 
intense  machine  gun  and  artillery  fire,  along  the  enemy's  entire

of  the  Regular  Army,  the  Divisional  Machine  Gim  Officer,  in  command,  with  Lieu

was  promoted  to  a  full  colonelcy  (Oct.  26,  18)  and  remained  in  command  of  the 
regiment  until  after  the  signing  of  the  Armistice,  having  acquitted  himself  with  credit 
during  the  remainder  of  the  battle,  and  was  finally  relieved  (Dec.  S,  18,  G.  O.  Ill), 
having  been  gassed.

HEAVY  MACHINE  GUN  AND  ARTILLERY  FIRE 

front,  especially  along  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montagne.  These 
woods  were  found  to  be  strongly  fortified  and  literally  bristled 
with  machine  gun  nests,  fire  from  which  covered  the  open  spaces 
to  the  south.  After  advancing  across  the  open  ground,  the  116th 
was  forced  to  fall  back  to  the  edge  of  the  woods.  Heavy  fire  by 
our  supporting  artillery  then  was  directed  upon  the  enemy's 
strong  points  and  enabled  the  infantry  to  take  up  its  advance 
slowly.  At  14  o'clock  (2:00  p.  m.)  our  right  was  held  up  by 
enfilading  fire  from  machine  guns  located  in  Bultruy  Bois  on  the 
east;  the  progress  of  the  18th  French  Division  to  which  the 
57th  Brigade  yet  was  attached  having  been  limited  to  the  Ravin 
de  MoUeville,  the  enemy  still  occupied  those  woods.  There 
was  heavy  fighting  all  the  afternoon.  A  strong  counter-attack 
at  a  point  where  the  115th  and  116th  joined  was  repulsed  with 
heavy  losses  to  the  enemy.  Although  the  115th  penetrated  the 
Bois  Plat  Chgne  for  several  hundred  meters,  and  the  left  of  the 
116th  carried  into  the  south-west  comer  of  the  Bois  de  la  Grande 
Montagne,  the  116th  could  not  take  the  MoUeville  Farm. 
The  failure  of  the  right  of  the  116th  left  the  right  of  the  115th 
and  the  left  of  the  116th  open  to  artillery  fire,  and  caused  the 
right  of  the  115th  to  be  refused,  to  connect  with  the  116th.  The 
assaulting  troops  suffered  heavy  casualties  during  the  day's 
operations.  First  Sergeant  Wiltshire  C.  Davis,  of  Company  G, 
115th  Infantry,  assumed  command  of  his  company  after  the 
officers  of  the  company  had  become  casualties.  His  conduct  on 
this  and  the  following  days  won  for  him  the  D.  S.  C.  His  cita- 
tion reads:  "For  extraordinary  heroism  in  action  near  Haumont, 
France,  October  11,  1918.  After  the  loss  of  all  of  his  officers, 
and  his  company  was  becoming  disorganized,  he  took  command 
and  reassembled  the  company,  bringing  it  to  the  objective  at  the 
most  opportime  moment.  He  commanded  for  a  period  of  11 
days  thereafter  and  successfully  continued  the  operations  by 
his  leadership  and  exceptional  courage  under  fire."  When 
darkness  set  in,  the  116th,  on  the  right,  was  ordered  to  with- 
draw 400  meters  from  the  open  ground  at  MoUeville  Farm  to 
the  northern  edge  of  the  Bossois  Bois  south  of  the  Farm.  Artil- 
lery fire  was  then  directed  upon  the  edge  of  the  woods  bordering 
the  clearing,  on  the  north.  Both  regiments  then  organized  in 
depth  for  the  night.  The  line  occupied  by  the  58th  Brigade  at 
the  end  of  the  day's  fighting  was  approximately  the  following:

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

the  115th  Infantry  occupied  practically  an  east  and  west 
line  in  the  Bois  Plat  Ch6ne,  with  its  right  refused  and  extend- 
ing southwardly  along  the  edge  of  the  wood,  connecting  with 
the  left  of  the  116th  Infantry  at  the  south  edge  of  Molle-

THE  67TH  BRIGADE  PREPARES  TO  ATTACK 

The  67th  Brigade  Attacks  the  Bois  (TOrmont. 

The  part  assigned  to  the  113th  Infantry  in  the  operations  of 
October  11th  was  a  comparatively  small  one.  In  effect,  the 
regiment  merely  had  to  straighten  out  its  Unes  and  to  maintain 
liaison  with  the  116th  on  its  left.  Having  held  its  position  in 
the  southern  edge  of  the  Ravin  de  Molleville  during  the  night 
of  October  10-1 1th,  it  moved  forward  to  its  assigned  objective  the 
following  morning  without  serious  opposition,  and  successfully 
withstood  two  counter-attacks  during  the  course  of  the  day. 
Just  before  midnight  Companies  A  and  C,  of  the  113th,  under 
Captains  Leroy  E.  Sulhvan  and  James  D.  Lambie,  respectively, 
were  moved  up  to  reinforce  the  Third  Battalion  in  the  Bois  de  la 
Reine. 

In  the  meantime,  General  Upton,  commanding  the  57th 
Brigade,  had  moved  his  P.  C.  from  Cumieres  to  the  C6te  des 
Roches,  but  fa^iling  to  find  dugouts  sufficiently  large  for  the  needs 
of  his  command  post,  moved  to  some  small  shallow  dugouts  and 
shelters  on  the  reverse  slope  of  a  hill  in  the  Ravin  du  Bois  des 
Caures  about  100  meters  from  the  Samogneux-Ormont  Farm 
Road.  As  this  location  was  almost  constantly  under  enemy 
artillery  fire,  many  casualties  resulted.  In  fact,  for  the  next  few 
days,  ihe  positions  of  both  regiments  of  the  brigade,  as  well  as 
the  brigade  and  regimental  P.  C*s,  were  under  constant  and 
severe  shell  fire.  Gas  shells  were  used  extensively,  and  consti- 
tuted a  serious  menace. 

The  114th  Infantry,  still  attached  to  the  18th  French  Division, 
moved  from  its  bivouac  in  the  C6te  des  Roches  into  position  in  the 

stretcher  bearer  he  gave  proof  of  great  courage  and  high  sense  of  duty  by  helping 
tranq[>ort  a  wounded  soldier  to  a  dressing  station  under  a  heavy  fire,  by  which  tnree 
other  stretcher  bearers  were  killed  or  senously  wounded.  He  was  wounded  himself, 
but  he  nevertheless  returned  to  the  shell  swept  area  and  assisted  in  rescuing  a  wounded 
officer  and  six  wounded  soldiers."

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Ravin  de  Coassinvaux  on  the  night  of  the  ll-lSth,  preparatory 
to  an  attack  upon  the  Bois  d'Ormont,  which  that  division  had 
been  ordered  to  make  at  7  o'clock  the  following  morning.  In 
conjunction  with  the  66th  French  Infantry,  the  114th  moved  to 
the  attack  at  the  hour  designated.  The  First  BattaUon,  com- 
manded by  Major  John  C.  Taylor,  was  employed,  with  Com- 
pany D,  111th  Machine  Gun  Battalion  attached,  and  the  Second 
Battalion,  commanded  by  Captain  Stone,  with  the  Regimental 
Machine  Gun  Company  attached.  The  Third  BattaUon,  com- 
manded by  Major  Ralph  Hutchins,  was  in  support.  The  77th 
French  Infantry  was  on  the  right  of  the  114th,  and  the  113th  on 
its  left.  The  objective  of  the  1 14th  was  the  enemy's  line  between 
the  Bois  d'Ormont  and  the  Bois  de  Moirey.  Unfortunately, 
proper  reconnaissance  of  the  territory  had  not  been  practicable, 
nor  was  sufficient  information  as  to  the  enemy  available,  while 
the  French  supporting  artillery,  with  a  reduced  supply  of  ammuni- 
tion, was  not  able  to  give  that  artillery  preparation  which  would 
have  been  most  welcome  in  this  attack  upon  one  of  the  very 
strongest  of  the  enemy's  positions.  The  strongly  fortified 
heights  of  the  Bois  d'Ormont  dominated  the  entire  adjacent 
country.  As  both  the  enemy  and  ourselves  recognized  that  it  was 
necessary  for  us  to  take  those  heights  before  we  could  extend  our 
attack  toward  the  northeast,  the  enemy  had  strongly  fortified 
them  and  now  held  them  tenaciously.  Such  preparatory  fire  as 
the  supporting  artillery  could  give  apparently  was  placed  too 
far  back  on  the  enemy's  lines.  Then,  too,  he  had  built  a  line  of 
strongly  fortified  concrete  machine  gun  positions  along  the  edge 
of  the  woods.  These  positions,  although  subjected  to  a  heavy 
artillery  fire,  were  so  well  constructed  that  they  were  but  slightly 
affected  by  it.  The  machine  gunners  merely  went  into  their 
concrete  dugouts  until  the  fire  had  lifted,  then  came  out,  and 
manning  their  guns,  directed  a  terrific  fire  on  our  advancing 
troops. 

In  the  face  of  strong  resistance,  the  First  Battalion  of  the 
114th,  Major  John  C.  Taylor,  on  the  left,  advancing  from  the 
south,  penetrated  to  the  center  of  the  Bois  d'Ormont.  This 
penetration  was  not  accomplished  without  heavy  losses,  however. 
Company  A,  111th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  commanded  by  Cap- 
tain Wm.  A.  Doyle,  took  up  a  position  before  dawn,  just  north 
of  the  Ravin  de  Boussieres  and  placed  a  direct  overhead  barrage 

[  174  1 


WEST  EDGE  OF  THE  BOIS  D'ORMONT  TAKEN 

on  the  edge  of  the  Bois  d*Ormont.  The  barrage  was  heavy  and  of 
much  assistance  to  the  attacking  troops.  After  five  minutes  of 
firing  the  Company  was  withdrawn.  So  intense  was  the  enemy 
artillery  fire  that  the  Company  lost  eleven  in  killed  and  wounded 
during  the  short  time  it  was  engaged.  Two  companies  from  the 
reserves  had  to  be  sent  in  to  reinforce  the  First  Battalion  shortly 
after  the  attack  started.  The  left  assault  Company  of  the  First 
Battalion,  Company  A,  commanded  by  Captain  Fred.  E.  Rohrback» 
lost  79  men  in  killed  and  wounded,  before  reaching  its  objective. 
Company  C,  under  Captain  Harry  B.  Doremus,  supported 
Company  A,  while  Company  B,  under  Captain  Wm.  J.  Reddon, 
was  the  right  assault  Company,  with  Company  D,  under  Captain 
Samuel  Kilpatrick,  in  support.  Company  B  went  into  action 
with  6  officers  and  19S  men  and  within  two  hours  suffered  the 
loss  of  1  officer  and  20  men  killed,  1  officer  and  75  men  wounded, 
1  man  taken  prisoner,  and  6  missing.  The  Second  Battalion 
reached  the  enemy  trenches  east  of  the  Bois  d'Ormont  before 
noon,  but  was  driven  out  a  few  hours  later  by  a  strong  counter 
attack  from  the  direction  of  the  Bois  de  Moirey.  The  line  there- 
upon fell  ofif  in  a  south-easterly  direction  in  liaison  with  the  77th 
French  on  the  right,  to  a  line  some  200  meters  south  of  the  enemy*s 
advanced  trenches.  There  the  men  dug  in  and  consolidated  a 
series  of  shell  holes.  The  66th  French,  going  forward  from  the 
west,  had  to  withstand  a  violent  counter  attack  which  prevented 
its  advance. 

The  right  of  the  First  Battalion  likewise  was  driven  back  by 
direct  machine  gun  fire  from  nests  established  in  trees,  and 
in  concealed  emplacements,  to  a  position  in  line  with  the  Second 
Battalion.  Later,  Companies^  A,  C  and  L  on  the  left  succeeded 
in  breaking  through  the  enemy's  line  and  established  themselves 
on  the  north  edge  of  the  woods,  where  they  dug  in  and  held. 
This  gave  us  possession  of  the  west  edge  of  the  Bois  d'Ormont. 

At  16:45  o'clock  (4:45  p.  m.).  Companies  A  and  C,  of  the 
113th  Infantry,  which  had  established  themselves  in  the  Bois  de 
la  Heine,  counter-attacked  from  the  northwest  and  assisted  the

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

114th  in  establishing  itself  in  the  Bois  d'Ormont.  These  com- 
panies were  relieved  during  the  night  by  companies  of  the  114th 
and  brought  back  to  their  original  positions. 

The  position  finally  held  was  a  line  along  the  Ravin  de  Molle- 
ville»  Bois  de  la  Reine  and  the  southern  and  western  edges  of  the 
Bois  d'Ormont.  This  position  was  greatly  exposed  and  under 
direct  observation  from  the  enemy,  who  still  occupied  the  Bois 
Belleu,  parts  of  the  Bois  d'Ormont  and  the  woods  to  the  north 
of  d'Ormont  Farm.  The  discomforts  of  the  men  were  increased 
by  the  unmolested  operations  of  enemy  planes,  which,  flying  low, 
directed  upon  them  a  continuous  machine  gun  fire.  The  free 
use  of  gas  by  the  enemy  during  and  following  this  attack  caused 
many  casualties  in  the  two  regiments. 

During  this  operation  the  S7th  Brigade  took  over  200  prisoners 
of  the  15th  and  82nd  Divisions,  and  captured  two  Austrian  88's, 
many  machine  guns  and  a  great  deal  of  other  materiel.  The 
losses  of  the  114th  were  especially  severe,  6  oflScers  and  112 
enlisted  men  being  killed  and  12  officers  and  800  enlisted  men 
wounded.  The  Umits  to  which  units  had  to  be  pushed  is  illus- 
trated by  Company  D,  which  went  into  line  with  6  officers  and 
226  men,  and  came  out  with  all  officers  casualties  and  with  only 
a  remnant  of  86  men. 

One  of  the  most  gallant  chapters  in  the  serious  fighting  which 
the  57th  Brigade  underwent  was  the  heroic  effort  of  the  mess 
sergeants  and  cooks  in  pushing  forward  with  the  kitchens  in  order 
that  the  men  in  the  front  lines  might  have  hot  coffee.  Colonel 
Pope  had  assembled  the  mess  sergeants  and  had  explained  to 
them  the  advantages  which  would  be  derived  if  the  men  could 
have  something  hot  to  drink.  All  were  ready  and  eager  to 
undertake  the  mission,  but  the  mess  sergeants  of  Companies 
F  and  I,  llSth  Infantry,  were  selected  for  the  task.  Accordingly, 
on  the  morning  of  the  12th  they  pushed  forward  in  charge  of 
Sergeant  Wylie  of  the  Supply  Company.  Running  into  heavy 
shell  fire,  they  were  unable  to  reach  the  forward  areas.  The 
following  morning  another  effort  was  made.  The  little  party 
consisted  of  Sergeant  Bettle,  Cooks  Harris,  Kirk,  Keppler  and 
Moalter,  and  Driver  Brachen.  The  last  named  was  thrown  from 
the  wagon,  the  wheels  of  which  passed  over  him,  and  was  so 
badly  injured  that  he  had  to  be  sent  back.  Cook  Harris  there- 
upon took  the  driver's  seat.   The  party  pushed  on.   Not  knowing

the  actual  location  of  our  front  lines,  they  went  beyond 
them,  until  they  looked  back  and  saw  a  part  of  Company  £ 
advancing  upon  some  machine  gun  nests  on  their  front.  An 
attempt  to  camduflage  the  kitchen  was  made,  but  to  no  avail; 
the  enemy  had  seen  it,  opened  fire  and  riddled  the  cooking  utensils. 
Despite  this  the  gallant  band  continued  their  efforts  to  extricate 
the  kitchen,  until  further  attempts  were  rendered  useless  when 
the  enemy  secured  a  direct  hit  and  utterly  demolished  it.  Nothing 
daunted,  the  cooks  sought  other  kitchens,  and  although  suffering 
numerous  casualties  from  machine  guns  and  artillery  fire,  finally 
succeeded  in  getting  hot  coffee  to  their  comrades  in  the  line.*

Except  for  encounters  between  patrols  and  small  local  actions, 
October  ISth  and  14tii  were  days  of  comparative  quiet,  in  the 
sector  of  the  58th  Brigade.  The  two  regiments  of  that  brigade 
reinforced  their  positions  and  organized  their  lines,  which  re- 
mained unchanged.  There  was  considerable  activity,  however, 
along  the  front  of  the  57th  Brigade,  when,  on  the  13th,  the 
113th  Infantry,  repulsed  two  violent  counter-attacks.  The  day 
of  the  14th  was  quiet  along  the  entire  front,  except  for  periods 
of  heavy  shelling — the  calm  before  the  storm  that  was  brewing.^ 
A  renewal  of  the  attack  on  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague 
now  was  ordered^  made  by  the  58th  Brigade.    A  secret  memo-

were  awarded  D.  S.  C's  for  extraordinary  heroism  in  front  of  the  enemy: 

FiUhngh  L,  Minnigerodet  lieutenant-colonel,  114th  Infantiy.  For  extraordinary  heroism 
in  action  near  Verdun,  France,  October  13-14, 1918.  mien  his  battalion  commanders, 
who  had  gone  forward  on  a  reconnaissance  preparatory  to  an  attack,  were  prevented 
from  returning  by  heavy  shell  and  machine  gun  fire,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Minnigerode 
personally  led  his  regiment  into  position  under  cover.  With  a  soldier  he  then  went 
forward  tor  a  distance  of  2  kilometers  under  artillery  and  machine-gun  fire,  found  the 
battalion  commanders,  and  guided  them  back  to  their  comrades.' 

Philip  F.  Smithy  private,  1st  dass.  Company  B,  115th  Infantry.  For  extraordinary 
heroism  in  action  near  Verdun,  France,  October  13,  1918.  During  a  heavy  artillery 
barrage  on  the  night  of  October  13,  two  men  having  been  killed  next  to  him  and  one 
severdy  wounded,  he,  disregarding  his  personal  safety,  carried  the  wounded  men 
through  the  barrage  to  the  company  headquarters;  knocked  down  by  a  shell  qilinter 
and  severely  bruised,  he  continued  with  the  wounded  men  to  a  first-aid  station."

THE  MOLLEVILLE  FARM  ATTACK 

randum  issued  on  the  evening  of  the  14th,  designated  October  15th 
as  D  day,  and  8  o'clock  as  H  hour.  The  attack  was  to  be  made, 
in  conjunction  with  the  SSrd  Division  on  the  left.  The  57th 
Brigade,  still  operating  under  the  18th  French  Division,  was  on 
the  right.  The  capture  of  the  heights  of  the  Grande  Montague 
was  the  objective. 

The  departure  line  of  the  two  regiments  was  that  of  the 
116th  Infantry — ^just  south  of  the  Molleville  Farm — and  a  pro- 
longation of  that  line  to  the  west.  The  two  regiments  were  ordered 
to  attack  side  by  side,  each  with  one  battalion  in  the  front  line. 
To  each  front  line  battalion  was  assigned  the  87  mm.  and  the 
Stokes-Mortar  platoon,  and  to  each  regiment  was  assigned  a 
battery  of  75's.  The  rate  of  advance  was  to  be  100  meters  in 
six  minutes. 

A  survey  of  the  terrain  from  the  map  will  best  explain  the 
operations  now  commenced.  The  ground  between  Molleville 
Farm  and  the  southern  edge  of  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague 
was  rolling  and  open  ground,  ascending  gradually  toward  Hill  875, 
and  was  included  for  the  most  part  within  parallels  25  and  26. 
This  was  the  line  of  advance  set  for  the  116th,  which  occupied  at 
the  beginning  of  the  attack  the  woods  south  of  the  open  ground 
of  the  Molleville  Farm  clearing.  The  west  edge  of  the  clearing 
was  occupied  by  the  115th  Infantry,  while  the  northern  and 
eastern  edges  were  strongly  occupied  by  enemy  troops,  which 
were  also  particularly  strongly  placed  in  the  Bultruy  Bois,  the 
western  part  of  which  projected  out  into  the  zone  of  tie  advance 
like  a  sort  of  wedge.  That  this  latter  position  of  the  enemy  was 
a  serious  menace  to  the  right  flank  of  the  brigade  was  known  to 
the  corps,  which  did  not  possess  the  strength  in  men  or  the 
necessary  supply  of  ammunition  either  to  extend  the  attack 
strongly  to  the  right,  or  to  protect  the  advance  by  a  heavy 
artillery  concentration  on  the  Bultruy  Bois  and  the  Bois  d'Etrayes. 
The  previous  conduct  of  our  troops,  however,  made  it  not  unrea- 
sonable to  expect  that  they  would  carry  out  any  mission  assigned, 
regardless  of  the  difficulty  attending  it.  This  confidence  was  to 
prove  well  founded. 

The  artillery  preparation  was  limited  to  half  an  hour  because 
of  the  shortage  of  ammunition,  which,  incidentally,  prevailed 
throughout  the  entire  period  of  the  division's  service  in  the  Meuse- 
Argonne  battle.     Accordingly,  the  artillery  at  7:80  began  to 

I  181  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

deliver  in  certain  designated  zones  a  neutralization  fire  at  the 
rate  of  3  rounds  per  gun  per  minute.  At  8  o'clock  the  artillery 
changed  to  accompanying  fire  at  the  rate  of  3  rounds  per  gun 
every  two  minutes.  The  artillery  fire  was  thickened  by  machine 
gun  and  trench  mortar  fire  from  the  attached  units. 

The  116th  Infantry  was  ordered  by  the  Brigade  Commander^ 
to  advance  its  assaulting  waves  across  the  MoUeville  Farm  clear- 
ing and  as  near  the  artillery  preparation  fire  as  practicable  in  the 
interval  between  H-30  and  H  hours  (7:30  to  8:00  o'clock). 
Accordingly,  at  7:50  the  first  waves  of  the  116th  moved  forward 
into  the  fog,  which  lay  heavy  over  the  attacking  troops.  The 
Third  Battalion  was  the  assaulting  battalion  of  the  116th,  with 
Company  L,  Captain  Ewart  Johnston,  commanding,  on  the 
right,  and  Company  I,  Lieutenant  Harold  L.  Dinges,  commanding, 
on  the  left.  Companies  M  and  K,  commanded  respectively  by 
Captain  A.  D.  Barksdale  and  Lieutenant  A.  H.  Stone,  were  in 
support. 

Scarcely  had  the  assaulting  line  cleared  the  woods  and  taken 
up  the  advance  than  the  right  of  the  line  was  subjected  to  a 
heavy  fire  from  the  front  and  from  Bultruy  Bois  on  the  flank. 
None  the  less.  Major  Opie,  of  the  Third  Battalion,  advancing 
with  his  headquarters  group,  was  able  to  reach  the  edge  of  the 
woods  of  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague,  and  to  establish  his  P.  C. 
there  before  9  o'clock.  Failing  to  gain  contact  with  his  company 
commanders,  and  finding  himself  in  a  position  of  considerable  peril, 
with  his  companies  much  scattered,  he  requested  support.  Just 
after  his  message  had  been  sent,  the  headquarters  group  was  fired 
upon  by  enemy  machine  guns  from  a  camouflaged  position  in  the 
open.  Lieutenant  Morrison,  the  artillery  liaison  officer  with  the 
battalion,  was  killed,  and  many  others,  among  them  Major  Opie 
and  Lieutenant  Menefee,  commanding  the  One-Pounder  Platoon, 
were  wounded.^  In  spite  of  his  painful  wound.  Major  Opie 
remained  in  command  of  his  battalion  until  nightfall.  The 
objective  having  been  gained  and  the  position  organized  by  that 

^  On  October  12th  Colonel  Vemon  A.  Caldwell,  of  the  Regular  Anny,  had  been  relieved  of 
the  command  of  the  58th  Brigade  by  General  Morton  and  Colonel  John  McA.  Palmer, 
General  Staff,  of  the  Regular  Army,  placed  in  command.  The  latter  retained  com- 
mand until  after  the  armistice,  when  he  was  assigned  to  other  duties.  Colonel 
Caldwell  was  sent  to  the  28th  Division  (S.  0. 78,  par.  32,  Hq.  1st  Army),  October  13th, 
18. 

*The  machine  gun  position  was  discovered  and  destroyed  when  the  fog  lifted  several 
hours  later.

time,  he  was  evacuated.  Captain  Barksdale  assumed  command 
in  his  stead.  For  his  display  "of  rare  courage  and  valor,  refusing 
relief  until  the  new  objective  was  consolidated".  Major  Opie  was 
awarded  the  Distinguished  Service  Cross  and  the  Croix  de  Guerre. 

It  was  in  this  advance  that  the  Intelligence  Officer  of  the 
Third  Battalion,  Lieutenant  William  P.  Nye,  performed  a 
remarkable  exploit  which  won  for  him  the  D.  S.  C.  Armed  only 
with  an  automatic,  and  without  a3sistance.  Lieutenant  Nye 
advanced  upon  a  machine  gun  nest.  Though  repeatedly  fired 
upon,  he  dodged  from  cover  to  cover  through  the  woods  and 
finally  succeeded  in  getting  in  the  rear  of  the  gun.  He  then 
found  some  potato  masher  grenades  that  belonged  to  the  enemy. 
With  these,  he  attacked  the  position,  killed  or  drove  off  the 
gimners,  and  captured  the  weapon  itself.  Before  he  rejoined  the 
battalion  headquarters  group  he  fought  a  pistol  duel  with  a 
German  captain  and  killed  him. 

The  fighting  throughout  the  day  was  of  the  hardest  sort^ 

^  The  character  of  the  fighting  may  be  judged  from  the  following  citations  for  the  D.  S.  C. 
awarded  for  acts  performed  in  this  engagement: 

"Alfred  D,  Barkgdale,  captain,  116th  Infantry.  For  repeated  acts  of  extraordinary

October  12;  and  in  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montagne,  France,  October  15,  1918. 
Commanding  a  support  company  during  the  attack  of  October  8,  Capt.  Barksdale 
discovered  that  his  battalion  had  advanmi  ahead  of  the  unit  on  the  right  flank,  and 
was  suffering  heavy  losses  from  machine  gun  fire.    Without  orders  he  attacked  and 


captured  the  guns,  taking  many  prisoners.  On  October  H  he  worked  for  over  an 
hour,  eroosed  to  a  terrific  bombardment,  binding  the  wounds  of  his  men.  On  October 
15  he  advanced  alone  in  a  thick  wood  and,  wiUi  the  aid  of  his  pistol,  put  out  of  action 
a  destructive  machine  gun  which  was  pouring  such  a  deadly  fire  that  his  men  could 
not  raise  their  heads."

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

contributed  largely  to  the  success  of  the  attack,  the  attacking 
troops  would  unquestionably  have  suffered  much  more  heavily. 
The  advantages  of  position,  cover  and  field  of  fire  were  all  with 
the  enemy.  The  Strength  Report  of  the  Third  Battalion  of  the 
116th  on  the  morning  of  October  16th,  showing  a  total  of  9 
officers  and  257  men  of  the  original  total  of  24  officers  and  790 
men,  is  a  fair  example  of  the  losses  suffered  by  our  battalions. 

The  Third  Battalion  of  the  115th,  commanded  by  Captain 
Woodcock  (while  Major  Charles  B.  Finley  was  acting  as  Brigade 
Adjutant),  had  gone  forward  to  the  attack  at  8  o'clock,  with  its 
line  in  prolongation  of  that  of  the  116th  on  its  right,  and  in  liaison 
with  the  33rd  Division  on  the  left.  The  First  Battalion,  under  the 
command  of  Captain  Elmer  F.  Mimshower,  was  in  support. 
The  Second  Battalion,  commanded  by  Captain  Thomas  G. 
McNicholas,  was  in  brigade  reserve. 

The  attack  all  along  the  line  met  with  intense  machine  gun 
and  heavy  artillery  resistance.  The  front  line  of  the  115th  in  the 
afternoon  joined  the  116th  ju»t  north  of  the  cross-roads  at  the 
southern  edge  of  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague,  and  then  fell 
away  in  the  center  in  an  endeavor  to  take  advantage  of  the 
terrain.  The  left  was  drawn  back  on  the  northwestern  slope 
of  the  Richene  Hill  to  perfect  Uaison  with  the  33rd  Division  on 
our  left  flank.  The  entire  brigade  because  of  indications  of 
hostile  strength  in  the  Bois  d'Etrayes  on  the  right,  dug  in  and 
consolidated  its  position  for  the  night.  The  brigade  reserve  was 
at  the  disposal  of  the  116th. 

Company  F,  of  the  113th  (still  under  command  of  the  French) 
had  been  ordered  to  advance  its  left  northwardly  along  parallel  26 
and  to  maintain  contact  with  the  advance  of  the  right  of  the  116th, 
which  had  been  withdrawn  west  of  that  parallel.  In  this  way 
the  front  of  that  regiment  was  shortened.  Company  F  advanced 
at  9:30  in  a  two-wave  formation.  Its  right  was  on  the  north 
side  of  the  Ravin  de  MoUeville.  Machine  gun  fire  was  to  cover 
the  open  space  between  the  right  of  Company  F  and  the  left  of 
Company  H,  of  the  same  regiment,  which  was  on  the  southern 
side  of  the  ravine. 

The  advance  met  with  stiff  resistance  as  it  approached  the 
Bultruy  Bois.  One  of  the  men  of  Company  F,  describing  that 
part  of  the  fighting  in  which  his  platoon  participated,  gives  the 
following  account: 

[  186  ] 


THE  ATTACK  RESUMED 

"Three  nests  containing  altogether  seven  machine  guns  were 
encountered  and  an  automatic  crew  was  sent  in  to  flank  them  on 
the  left.  Private  Sample,  of  Oklahoma,  was  caught  fast  in  the  wire 
and  was  killed  by  machine  gun  fire.  Private  Gaspani  pushed  on, 
and  wiped  out  a  nest  of  three  guns,  piling  up  twelve  Germans  in  the 
pit.  Private  Talmore,  fighting  coolly,  had  shot  two  of  the  enemy, 
and  injured  a  third,  when  he  himself,  was  wounded  and  had  to  be 
evacuated.  All  the  guns  were  soon  silenced  and  destroyed,  and  the 
advance  continued;  more  machine  guns  and  snipers  were  encountered. 
Privates  Belowitz  and  Marsavich  were  wounded,  and  Private  Zenski 
while  kneeling  behind  a  stump,  firing  at  a  machine  gunner,  was  shot 
through  the  temple  and  instantly  kUled  with  his  rifle  in  position  to 
fire.  Snipers,  with  machine  guns,  were  located  in  trees  and  shot  from 
their  platforms,  while  others  fighting  Indian  fashion,  dodging  from 
tree  to  tree,  were  driven  back,  and  we  finally  formed  a  line  of  re- 
sistance along  the  edge  of  a  road  at  the  top  of  the  hill.'* 

Meanwhile  on  the  left,  the  116th,  had  lost  contact  with  the 
113th.  Company  C,  of  the  116th,  was  sent  forward  to  fill  the 
gap  between  the  two  regiments.  That  company  repulsed  two 
local  counter-attacks  during  the  night.  The  following  day 
Company  G,  of  the  113th,  was  moved  up  from  its  supporting 
position  and  took  position  in  line  on  the  left  of  Company  F* 

After  a  half  hour's  preparation  fire  by  the  artiUery,  the  attack 
was  resumed  at  9:30  on  the  16th.  The  Third  Battalion  of  the 
115th  remained  in  the  assault  position  between  meridians  24  and 
25,  with  the  First  Battalion,  commanded  by  Captain  Mun- 
showerS  in  support.  The  Second  Battalion  of  the  115th»  com- 
manded by  Captain  McNicholas  was  ordered  to  report  to  the 
commanding  officer  of  the  116th  Infantry  and  was  placed  in  the 
assault  position  between  meridians  25  and  25.5.  This  battalion, 
with  Companies  F  and  G,  in  the  assault  positions,  steadily  moved 
forward  in  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montagne.    As  the  attack' 

'  Major  Barrett,  the  battalion  comnumder,  was  relieved  the  same  morning  to  be  returned 
to  the  U.  S.  to  be  promoted  and  assigned  to  a  new  division. 

'  The  following  received  the  D.  S.  C.  for  their  conduct  during  the  attack  of  the  16th:

heroism  in  action  in  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montagne,  France,  October  16,  1918. 
Having  been  ordered  to  take  up  his  position  cm  the  final  objective,  Lieut.  Bolton  made 
a  personal  reconnaissance  of  his  company  front  line,  during  which  time  he  was  sub- 
jected to  the  artillery  fire  of  both  friendly  and  enemy  guns  uid  machine  guns  directed 
on  his  position.^  He  again  went  out  on  the  same  mission  and  captured  two  prisoners 
who  were  carrying  a  machine  gun.*'

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

progressed,  it  met  resistance  from  machine  guns  in  the  Bois  de  la 
Grande  Montagne,  but  down  into  the  Ravin  de  Moyemont,  the 
advance  was»  for  the  most  part,  comparatively  easy.  The  116th 
advanced  from  its  position  in  the  southern  part  of  the  Bois  de  la 
Grande  Montague.  It  had  the  Second  Battalion  of  the  115th 
in  the  assault  position  and  the  First  Battalion  of  the  116th  on 
its  right.  Its  objective  was  Hill  S70  and  the  high  ground  in  the 
Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague,  between  parallels  25  and  26.  The 
advance  units  encountered  and  cleaned  up  many  machine  gun 
nests,  but  found  a  noticeable  diminution  in  the  enemy's  artillery 
fire.  Under  the  protection  of  our  supporting  artillery  the  line 
went  steadily  forward.^ 

By  noon  of  the  16th  the  115th  had  carried  its  line  forward  500 

October  8-16,  1918.  On  October  8,  he  led  his  pUtoon  through  machine  gun  and 
rifle  fire  in  an  advance  whidi  resulted  in  the  capture  of  300  prisoners  and  1^  machine 
guns.  On  the  morning  of  October  16  he  volunteered,  with  one  sergeant^  and  straight- 
ened out  the  line  of  an  adjacent  unit.  His  movements  were  under  constant  machine 
gun  fire,  and  so  close  to  the  enemy  that  he,  with  his  sergeant,  captured  two  prisoners 
while  accomplishing  their  mission." 

*'lViUiam  Penn  LewiSf  Jr.,  first  lieutenant,  Company  F,  115th  Infantry.  For  extraor- 
dinary heroism  in  action  near  Verdun,  France,  October  16,  1918.  Lieut.  Lewis, 
although  ill  at  the  time,  led  his  platoon  in  an  attack  in  the  Bois  de  Grande  Mon- 
tague against  numerous  enemy  machine  gun  nests  and  quickly  dispatched  the 
enemy  troops  therein.  Finally  he  advanced  alone  and  captured  an  enemy  sniper 
from  a  tree  and  brought  him  into  our  lines.  He  renuiined  with  his  company  until 
October  18,  when  he  collapsed  with  shell  shock  and  exhaustion." 

** Joshua  D.  Brown,  sergeant,  Cottipany  B,  116th  Infantry.  For  extraordinary  heroism 
in  action  near  Verdun,  France,  October  14-16, 1918.  On  October  14,  while  command- 
ins  a  platoon  in  the  Bois  de  Consenvoye  north  of  Verdun  he  was  wounded.  He 
roused  to  be  sent  to  the  hospital  and  continued  in  oonunand  of  his  phitoon,  doing 
excellent  work  until  October  16,  when  he  was  again  severely  wounded  and  carried 
from  the  field." 

"John  E,  West,  sergeant,  Con^Muiy  F,  115th  Infantry.  For  extraordinary  heroism  in 
action  near  Veidun,  France,  October  8-16,  1918.  In  the  Bois  de  Consenvoye  on 
October  8,  1918,  and  in  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague  on  October  16,  he  ably  led 
his  platoon  with  extreme  courage  and  gallantry  and  by  his  conduct  inspired  the  men 
of  his  platoon  to  greater  effort.  This  soldier  led  a  detachment  against  a  strongly 
protected  enemy  machine  gun  nest  and  successfully  took  the  position  under  heavy 
fire." 

**Ben  Van  Qundaiy,  private,  Company  F,  115th  Infantry.  For  extraordinary  heroism  in 
action  near  Bois  de  Consenvoye,  France,  October  8,  and  Bois  de  Grande  Montagne, 
France,  October  16,  1918.  During  the  entire  action  he  (^>erated  his  automatic  rifle 
with  great  effect  against  extremely  heavy  odds,  aiding  the  advance  of  his  platoon, 
killing  many  of  the  enemy,  and  assisting  in  the  capture  of  many  more.  He  repeatedly 
exposed  himself  to  draw  the  enemy  fire  so  that  he  could  better  operate  his  gun.'

^The  Second  and  Third  Battalions  of  the  116th  were  relieved  during  the  night  of  the 
16-17th  by  the  First  Battalion,  under  Captain  Stack,  which  repulsed  a  feeble  counter 
attack  on  the  morning  of  the  17th. 

[  188] 


ALL  OBJECTIVES  REACHED 

meters,  except,  in  the  center,  where  the  line  encircled  the  ravine 
and  at  13:45  o'clock  (1:45  p.  m.)  its  left  had  reached  the  objective 
and  formed  liaison  with  the  troops  on  the  left,  while  the  right  was 
advancing  steadily.  By  18:55  o'clock  (6:55  p.  m.)  the  entire 
brigade  had  attained  its  objective  (the  original  "First  Objective 
of  Exploitation"),  had  dug  in  and  had  the  cover  of  a  protective 
barrage  arranged  by  the  artillery.  As  the  Corps  Conmiander 
considered  this  to  be  the  farthest  practicable  advance  to  the 
north  until  the  capture  of  the  Bois  d'Ormont,  the  position  was 
consolidated  and  held.  Our  line,  however,  bulged  in  the  center: 
The  57th  Brigade  on  the  right  faced  the  Etrayes  Ridge,  along  the 
south  side  of  the  Ravin  de  MolleviDe;  as  the  heavily  wooded 
ridge  extended  due  east  from  the  MoUeville  Farm  clearing  the 
enemy  lines  were  not  more  than  forty  yards  from  our  troops  to 
the  west.  This  constituted  a  serious  threat  against  the  flank 
and  rear  of  the  58th  Brigade. 

The  57th  Brigade  (less  five  companies  of  the  114th),  still 
under  orders  of  the  18th  French  Division,  reorganized  and  held 
its  line  of.  the  previous  day,  under  a  continuous  fire  of  high 
explosive  and  gas  shells.  On  the  15th  the  enemy  had  sent  over 
such  a  concentration  of  gas  that  the  men  of  some  of  the  com- 
panies had  been  compelled  to  wear  gas  masks  for  over  two  hours 
and  to  move  out  of  the  ravines  and  low  places.  The  suffering  of 
the  men  from  lack  of  water  was  also  intense.  The  front  line  was 
nothing  more  than  a  line  of  consolidated  shell  holes,  which  were 
under  continuous  machine  gun  and  artillery  fire.  Our  machine 
gun  units  accordingly  were  put  in  position  along  the  entire  brigade 
front  to  enfilade  the  ravines  and  to  protect  the  flanks.  On  the 
same  day  the  First  Battalion  of  the  114th  went  into  position  in 
the  old  enemy  trench  along  the  north  edge  of  the  Bois  d'Ormont, 
with  its  local  reserves  about  600  meters  south  of  the  woods.  The 
Second  Battalion  was  located  in  shell  holes  on  the  forward  slope 
of  the  hiU  southwest  of  Bois  d'Moirey,  with  their  reserves  about 
500  meters  in  the  rear. 

The  First  Battalion  of  the  114th,  with  Company  L  attached, 
was  relieved  in  the  Bois  d'Ormont  by  the  104th  Infantry,  of  the 
26th  U.  S.  Division  on  the  16th,  and  was  brought  back  to  the  C6te 
des  Roches  in  divisional  reserve.  The  26th  Division  had  relieved 
the  18th  French  Division  the  previous  day.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

The  Sector  Grande  Monlagne  Is  Organized. 

Field  Orders  No.  21 S  issued  at  19:30  o'clock  (7:30  p.  m.), 
October  16th,  announced  that  as  the  division  had  attained  its 
present  objective,  the  Sector  Grande  Montague  was  to  be  organ- 
ized, by  8  o'clock  on  the  17th.  The  sector  was  divided  into  two 
sub-sectors:  Sub-Sector  Blue  and  Sub-Sector  Gray.  Departing 
from  strict  historical  traditions  the  57th  Brigade,  composed  of  the 
New  Jersey  Regiments,  was  assigned  to  the  defense  of  the  Sub- 
Sector  Gray,  while  the  "Southern  Brigade",  the  58th,  was  assigned 
to  the  defense  of  the  Sub-Sector  Blue.  The  orders  were  executed 
promptly.  With  the  exception  of  a  few  small  raids  and  the  usual 
shelling,  the  days  of  October  17th^  and  18th  passed  without

of  our  attack  in  the  Boesois  Bois,  Lieut.  MacFarland  had  an  advance  dressing  station 
in  the  woods  under  constant  shell  fire,  without  protection.  He  repeatedly  exposed 
himself  to  shell  fire  while  going  to  the  aid  of  wounded.  His  gallant  example  assisted 
greaUy  in  keeping  up  the  morale  of  the  troops  with  whom  he  came  in  contact.  He

this  soldier  performed  heroic  duty  in  maintaining  uaison  between  regimental  and 
battalion  posts  of  command.  He  organized  relay  posts,  beyond  his  required  route

located  along  the  Ravin  de  MoUeville  and  its  prolongation  to  the 
northwest,  skirting  the  Bultruy  Bois,  and  joining  the  116th  in 
the  vicinity  of  the  cross-roads  due  north  of  Molleville  Farm. 
The  Second  Battalion  of  the  latter  regiment  and  two  machine  gun 
companies  were  on  the  front  covering  the  C.  R.  (Center  of  Re- 
sistance) "Molleville  Farm",  on  the  right  of  the  Sub-Sector 
''Blue".  The  First  Battalion  in  support  and  the  Third  Battahon 
in  reserve  were  located  in  the  woods  to  the  south.  The  115th 
Infantry  dug  in  along  the  "First  Objective  of  Eicploitation"  line, 
between  parallels  24  and  25.  On  that  part  of  the  extreme  left, 
including  Les  Rappes  and  the  Ravin  de  Moyemont,  the  line  was 
refused  somewhat  in  order  to  effect  junction  with  the  33rd  Division. 
The  58th  Brigade  took  up  a  strong  position  along  the  line  gained 
by  the  hard  fighting  of  the  previous  days.  The  front  line  battal- 
ions were  again  relieved  by  the  battalions  in  support  and  reserve 
and  the  troops  reorganized  after  the  ten  days  of  gruelling  fighting. 
The  First  and  Third  Battalions,  and  Company  A,  111th  Machine 
Gun  Battalion,  had  been  relieved  by  units  of  the  26th  U.  S. 
Division,  and  had  been  withdrawn  to  the  area  Brabant,  Haumont, 
Malbrouck.  These  units,  with  the  remainder  of  the  57th  Brigade, 
except  the  Second  Battalion  of  the  113th,  constituted  the  divi- 
sional reserve.  The  question  of  re-equipping  the  57th  Brigade 
for  further  service  was  a  serious  one,  to  which  General  Upton 
gave  his  personal  attention.

CHAPTER  XXVII. 

thb  capture  of  etrates  ridge — ^we  are  relieved  bt  the 

79th  division. 


The  comparative  quiet  prevailing  during  the  next  few  days 
gave  opportunity  for  making  reconnaissances  preparatory  to  the 
new  attack  the  division  expected  it  would  be  called  upon  to  deliver 
against  the  Bois  d'Etrayes. 

The  capture  of  this  ridge  was  regarded  as  necessary  to  the 
successful  outcome  of  an  attack  on  the  Belleu  Woods,  which,  in 
turn,  had  to  be  taken  before  a  successful  attack  against  the 
Ormont  Woods  could  be  made.  For  the  enemy  not  only  had 
unrestricted  observation  from  the  Pylone  Observatory  on  Hill 
361,  in  the  Bois  d'Etrayes,  but  from  the  ridge  could  bring  to 
bear  upon  an  attack  on  Belleu  Woods  an  almost  prohibitory 
fire  of  machine  guns  and  artillery.  On  October  20th,  at  23:30 
o'clock  (11:30  p.  m.)  Field  Orders  No,  22^  were  issued  for  a 
combined  attack  by  the  29th  and  26th  Divisions  on  the  ridge  of 
the  Bois  d'Etrayes.  By  this  order  the  two  brigades  of  the  29th 
were  ordered  to  attack,  side  by  side.  The  57th  was  to  have  one 
regiment  in  the  front  line,  and  the  58th  two.  The  115th  Infantry 
had  to  make  only  a  covering  attack  to  protect  the  left  flank  of  the 
58th  Brigade.  The  rate  of  advance  was  to  be  100  meters  in  10 
minutes.  After  half  an  hour  on  the  Intermediate  Objective,  to 
reform  organizations,  the  advance  was  to  proceed  at  the  same  rate 
until  the  Normal  Objective  was  reached.  Then  the  new  front  was 
to  be  organized  and  entrenched.  To  each  assaulting  battalion 
was  assigned  a  machine  gun  company  and  the  Stokes-Mortar 
and  37  mm.  platoons,  and  to  each  regiment  was  assigned  a  battery 
of  75's.  October  23rd  was  to  be  D  day  and  6:15  was  designated 
as  H  hour. 

In  order  to  carry  out  the  attack,  the  First  Battalion  of  the 
113th,  with  the  113th  Machine  Gun  Company,  and  two  guns 
from  the  One-Pounder  Platoon,  moved  at  17  o'clock  (5:00  p.  m.) 
on  the  22nd  to  a  position  about  1000  meters  south  of  MoUeville 
Farm.  There  it  bivouacked  for  the  night,  preparatory  to  the 
attack  the  following  morning.     At  4  o'clock  on  the  23rd  the 

See  Appendix  J.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

battalion  moved  forward  to  the  parallel  of  departure.  As  ill 
fortune  would  have  it,  half  an  hour  later  the  enemy  artillery 
dropped  about  400  shells,  200  of  which  were  gas,  in  the  vicinity 
of  MoUeville  Farm.  This  fire  continued  about  20  minutes. 
During  that  time  a  whole  section  of  the  Machine  Gun  Company 
was  gassed. 

From  5:30  until  6:15,  on  the  morning  of  the  23rd,  the  artillery 
of  the  29th  and  the  26th  American  Divisions,  of  the  15th  French 
Colonial  Division,  and  of  the  17th  French  Army  Corps  delivered 
a  preparatory  fire  at  the  rate  of  100  rounds  per  gun  per  hour. 
Then,  as  the  infantry  advanced,  a  rolling  barrage  at  the  same  rate 
was  fired,  and  was  continued  until  11  o'clock.  The  110th  Machine 
Gun  Battalion,  after  executing  fire  of  position  from  the  southwest 
comer  of  MoUeville  Farm,  for  45  minutes  preceding  Zero  Hour, 
was  withdrawn  to  the  Cdte  des  Roches  and  formed,  with  the 
114th  Infantry,  the  divisional  reserve.  The  reaction  of  the 
enemy^  to  our  artillery  fire  was  vigorous.  Companies  A  and  B, 
of  the  111th  Machine  Gun  Battalion,^  which  were  covering  the 
advance  with  an  overhead  fire  from  MoUeville  Bois,  had  four  of 
their  twenty-four  gims  destroyed  by  enemy  shell  fire  during  the 
45  minutes  of  firing. 

J  The  Summaiy  of  Intelligence  of  Uie  24tli,  gave  the  following  information: 

"A  barrage  plan  found  on  a  Saxon  Artillery  Officer  captured  yesterday  shows  the 
presence  of  the  following  artillery  regiments  on  this  front: 
3rd  Reserve  Bavarian,  59th  Prussian,  64th  Saxon,  80th  Prussian. 

"The  64th  is  the  regular  divisional  artillery  of  the  S2nd  Saxon  Division.  The 
59th  was  formerly  the  divisional  artillery  of  the  77th  Reserve  Division,  reported  dis- 
banded 12th  of  December  1917.    It  is  now  either  corps  or  army  artiUery. 

"Prisoners  from  the  177th  Regiment,  S2nd  Division,  state  that  three  battalions 
came  into  line  about  mid-day  yesterday.  They  have  been  in  local  reserve  and  moved 
from  place  to  place  in  the  rear  areas  and  were  fed  in  yesterday  to  strengthen  that 
part  of  the  line  held  by  the  103rd  Regiment. 

"A  prisoner  from  the  3rd  Battalion,  SSrd  Landwehr  Regiment,  of  the  1st  Land- 
wehr  Division,  states  that  his  battalion  came  into  line  at  5  o'clock  yesterday  morning 
on  the  left  of  the  102nd  Regiment. 

"From  the  statements  of  prisoners,  as  well  as  from  the  deductions  which  we  can 
properly  make  in  view  of  the  length  of  our  service  in  the  front  line,  the  82nd  Division 
IS  nothing  more  than  a  skeleton  in  form.    A  relief  is,  thereioTe,  looked  for. 

'The  general  attitude  of  the  prisoners  is  interesting  and  important.  With  the 
exception  A  the  Prussians,  who  are  still  defiant  and  boastful,  they  are  convinced  that 
the  war  cannot  last  longer  than  a  few  months  even  though  present  negotiations  come 
to  naught,  and  they  are,  therefore,  ready  to  surrender.  The  Prussians,  though  admits 
ting  the  inability  of  Germany  to  win,  maintain  that  she  can  hold  out  for  many  months 
on  her  own  frontiers  and  that  she  cannot  be  crushed." 

It  was  unfortunate  that  the  key  map  which  belonged  with  this  plan  was  retained 
as  a  souvenir  by  one  of  the  officers  of  the  company  which  captured  the  Saxon  Officer, 
and  thus,  we  were  unable  to  find  the  location  of  these  units,  as  otherwise  we  easily 
could  have  done. 
During  the  day  the  machine  gun  units  fired  over  1,000,000  rounds  of  ammunition. 

[  104  ] 


THE  ATTACK  ON  ETRAYES  RIDGE 

The  jump-off  line  ran  practically  north  and  south  through 
Molleville  Farm,  with  the  113th  on  the  right,  the  116th  on  its 
left,  and  the  115th  on  the  left  of  the  116th.  The  general  direction 
of  the  attack  was  due  east  and  was  designed  to  wrest  from  the 
enemy  one  of  his  strongest  points,  upon  which  was  situated  the 
famous  Pylone  Observatory,  which  gave  him  unrestricted  obser- 
vation almost  as  far  into  our  lines  as  the  City  of  Verdun  itself. 

At  the  suggestion  of  lieutenant-Colonel  W.  S.  Bowen,  General 
Staff,  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff,  G-3,  the  front  lines  were  withdrawn 
several  hundred  meters  before  the  artillery  preparation  started,  in 
order  that  the  artillery  fire  might  begin  on  our  own  former  front 
lines.  This  was  done  because,  in  previous  attacks,  enemy  ntiachine 
gun  emplacements  in  the  woods  had  been  so  close  to  our  front  lines 
that  our  artillery  preparatory  fire  fell  beyond  them. 

The  Third  Battalion  was  designated  as  the  assault  battalion 
of  the  113th  and  the  Second  Battalion  as  the  assault  battalion  of 
the  116th.  The  First  Battalion  of  the  116th  was  to  move  for- 
ward behind  the  assault  battalion  and  take  up  a  position  along  the 
forward  slope  of  the  high  ground  in  the  northern  part  of  the  Bois 
d'Etrayes  facing  north  and  covering  the  left  flank  of  the  assault- 
ing battalion.  The  First  Battalion,  of  the  115th,  now  com- 
manded by  Major  Charles  B.  Finley,  who  had  been  acting 
brigade  adjutant,  was  designated  as  the  assaulting  battalion  of 
that  regiment,  with  its  left  in  touch  with  the  Second  Battalion  of 
the  same  regiment.  The  mission  of  the  115th  was  to  make  a 
covering  attack  on  the  left  of  the  line.  At  6:15  the  infantry 
jumped  off.  The  First  Battalion  had  suffered  heavily  from 
enemy  artillery  fire  from  the  north  and  northeast  immediately 
upon  the  lifting  of  our  barrage,  but  alter  the  advance  had  begun 
had  little  diflSculty  in  pushing  its  left  and  center  to  the  covering 
objective,  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague, 
where  it  covered  the  ravine.  On  the  right,  encountering  heavy 
machine  gun  fire^  from  the  Bois  d'Etrayes  it  gained  but  little 
ground.  The  116th  met  with  considerable  opposition  in  its 
attempt  to  cross  into  the  Bois  d'Etrayes.    At  10:25  our  aeroplane 

'  The  conduct  of  Sergeant  MacUen  agunst  the  enemy  won  for  him  the  D.  S.  C.  His 
citation  foUows:

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTYNINTB  DIVISION 

reported  that  the  116th  had  exposed  its  panels  on  the  objective. 
This  proved  not  entirely  true.  The  first  waves  of  the  two  assault 
companies  followed  the  barrage  closely,  and  partially  attained 
the  objective,  but  the  two  support  companies  were  caught  in  the 
enemy  counter  barrage  and  were  held  up  long  enough  to  enable 
the  Germans  to  man  their  machine  guns  and  reform  their  lines 
of  resiiatance.  As  a  result  this  area  was  not  mopped  up.  The 
116th,  therefore,  although  it  attained  in  part  the  actual  east 
and  west  line  designated  as  its  objective,  did  not  occupy  it,  but 
was  withdrawn  to  the  topographical  objective,  which  offered  a 
natural  defensive  line,  namely.  Hill  361  in  the  Bois  d'Etrayes  and 
the  saddle  and  ridge  extending  from  Hill  361  to  Hill  375  in  the 
Bois  de  la  Grande  Montague.  The  occupation  of  this  line  instead 
of  the  actual  line  designated  was  the  result  of  a  personal  reconnais- 
sance by  Lieutenant-Colonel  Bankhead,  ordered  by  Colonel 
Kelley,  comimanding  the  116th.  This  was  later  approved  by  the 
Brigade  Commander. 

The  113th  reached  its  Intermediate  Objective,  at  8:30  with 
few  casualties,  and  then  organized.  At  9 :25  the  regiment  resumed 
the  advance,  but  met  stiff  resistance^  from  concentrated  machine 

The  following  citations  for  the  D  S.  C.  show  the  indomitable  spirit  of  the  men,  after 
more  than  two  weeks  of  battle:

guns  and  artillery.  When  the  assaulting  line  was  within  200 
meters  of  its  objective  it  was  held  up  for  a  half  hour  because  of  the 
failure  of  the  artillery  barrage  to  move  forward.  The  Normal 
Objective  was  finally  reached  by  the  113th  at  10:50.  Left 
elements  of  the  regiment,  however,  advanced  beyond  the  ordered 
objective  and  lost  liaison  with  the  116th  on  the  left.  The  lines 
were  later  connected  up.  From  17  o'clock  (5:00  p.  m.)  on  the 
enemy  launched  many  comparatively  feeble  counter-attacks, 
which  were  easily  repulsed.  During  the  night  the  line  was  forced 
to  withdraw  about  200  meters  in  the  face  of  heavy  machine  gun 
fire  and  threats  from  enemy  patrols  on  the  flanks. 

On  the  right  of  the  29th  Division,  the  26th  Division  cleaned 
out  le  Houppy  Bois  and  carried  its  lines  into  the  southern  part 
of  the  Bois  d'Etrayes,  but  as  a  result  of  a  strong  enemy  counter- 
attack was  compelled  to  withdraw  during  the  night  to  the  northern 
edge  of  the  Bois  de  la  Reine. 

The  result  of  the  day's  activities  was  an  advance  of  about  one 
kilometer  toward  the  east  over  an  800  meter  front.    The  division

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

now  occupied  a  front  of  about  four  kilometers.  The  113th,  which 
was  withdrawn  slightly  to  take  the  best  advantage  of  the  ground, 
joined  the  26th  Division  on  our  right  at  a  point  about  200  meters 
to  the  southeast  of  the  Pylone  Observation  Tower,  and  extended 
northwest  to  the  observation  tower  on  Hill  861.  The  116th 
Infantry  held  from  this  point  to  a  point  almost  due  north  about 
800  meters,  thence  west  at  right  angles,  bending  slightly  to  the 
south  along  the  narrow  gauge  railway  to  a  point  in  the  Bois 
d'Etrayes  about  400  meters  east  of  the  edge  of  the  MoUeville 
Farm  clearing.  Thence  the  line  of  the  116th  extended  to  the  north- 
west and  connected  with  the  115th  at  a  point  in  the  Bois  de  la 
Grande  Montague  about  800  yards  north  of  the  cross  roads  at  the 
northeast  comer  of  the  MoUeville  Farm  clearing.  From  there 
the  line  of  the  115th  extended  due  north  to  the  covering  line, 
about  100  meters,  thence  along  this  line  to  the  northwest,  about 
400  meters,  and  then  due  west.  Bending  back  toward  the  south 
it  joined  the  15th  French  Colonials  on  meridian  24.  Due  to  the 
ever  decreasing  number  of  effectives  and  the  enlarged  front  it  was 
necessary  to  have  a  large  portion  of  each  regiment  in  the  front 
line.  This  made  infiltration  by  the  enemy  comparatively  easy. 
Minor  counter-attacks  thereafter  were  frequent  and  our  troops^ 
were  kept  busy  with  local  encounters.

"William  S.  Landss,  first  lieutenant,  llStfa  Infantry.  For  extraordinary  heroism  in 
action  north  of  Samogneuz,  France,  October  11-25,  1918.  Acting  as  regimental 
munitions  offic^,  he  was  wounded  early  in  the  action,  but  remained  on  duty  for  two 
weeks,  supervising  the  distribution  of  anununition  in  the  front  line  battalions. 
Through  his  untirug  efforts  and  utter  disregard  of  personal  danger  under  heavy  shell 
fire  an  adequate  supply  of  anununition  to  the  battalions  in  the  line  was  constantly 
maintained.  After  the  attack  on  the  Bob  d'Etrayes,  October'  24,  when  liaison  with 
the  advance  battalion  had  been  broken  by  the  intense  bombardment,  this  officer 
volunteered  to  proceed  to  the  position  occupied  by  this  battalion  and  returned  with 
valuable  information  as  to  the  location  of  the  front  line."

of  his  platoon  and  in  re-establishing  liaison  with  the  units  on  his  right,  thus  relieving  a 
dangerous  situation.  He  was  killed  on  October  25  while  leading  an  attack  on  a

THE  MACHINE  GUN  BARRAGE 

One  feature  of  this  bloody  day's  action  calls  £or  special  com- 
ment. When  General  Upton  saw  that  the  attack  of  his  brigade 
was  to  advance  parallel  to  the  Molleville  Bois  hill,  he  directed  his 
Brigade  Machine  Gun  Officer  to  prepare  a  machine  gun  barrage 
to  precede  the  attacking  troops.  A  plan  thereupon  was  developed 
by  Major  Millard  E.  Tydings  for  the  111th  Machine  Gun  Battal- 
ion to  clear  the  advance  for  the  113th  and  116th  Infantries  through 
the  Bois  d'Etrayes.  Companies  A  and  B  were  placed  to  produce 
a  series  of  interlocking  zones  of  machine  gun  fire  so  arranged 
that  they  fell  parallel  to  the  advancing  infantry  and  moved  with- 
out cessation  of  fire  200  meters  in  advance  of  our  troops  from  the 
jumping  oflF  point  to  the  Normal  Objective.  For  the  purpose  of 
this  fire  the  ground  was  divided  into  four  blocks  covering  the  two 
regiments.  When  our  infantry  had  covered  one-quarter  of  its 
required  advance,  the  first  platoon  of  machine  guns,  located  on 
the  heights  of  Molleville  Bois,  went  out  of  action.  Simultan- 
eously, the  second  platoon  went  into  action,  took  up  the  advance 
where  the  first  platoon  had  left  off  and  continued  in  the  manner 
explained,  followed  successively  by  the  third  and  fourth  platoons. 
The  infantry  thus  was  provided  at  all  times  with  a  protective

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

enfilading  machine  gun  barrage.  When  the  Intermediate  Objec- 
tive was  reached  the  infantry  halted  to  consolidate.  A  barrage 
covered  their  consolidation  for  five  minutes  before  they  started 
from  the  Intermediate  toward  the  Normal  Objective.  As  a  result 
of  this  barrage  the  infantry  was  able  to  advance  with  compar- 
atively light  losses.  Over  60  machine  guns,  abandoned  by  the 
enemy,  were  found  after  our  objective  had  been  attained. 

On  the  night  of  the  24-25th,  the  113th,  which  had  been  hard 
pressed,  was  relieved  by  the  114th,  whose  place  in  divisional 
reserve  it  took.  The  story  of  the  relief  of  Company  E,  113th 
by  Company  B,  114th,  is  thus  told  by  one  of  its  members: 

"Relieved  at  4  a.  m.  the  Company  retired  to  the  Battalion  P.  C. 
and  was  ordered  to  go  to  MoIIevilie  Farm  and  await  the  rest  of  the 
Battalion.  The  men  were  so  weak  it  was  necessary  to  halt  three 
times  in  one  kilometer,  the  final  halt  being  made  at  Molleville  Farm 
ruins.  A  few  minutes  later,  the  ruins  were  bombarded  again.  We 
would  have  been  wiped  out  had  we  continued  on  to  the  farm  itself. 
At  7  A.  M.  the  rest  of  the  battalion  came  up  and  Companies  £  and  C 
were  sent  to  the  rear  by  the  major.  We  marched  through  the  Bois 
de  Molleville  in  single  file  and  came  out  by  way  of  Brabant.  Reach- 
ing Hill  338  another  rest  was  taken  and  our  rifles  unloaded  for  the 
first  time  in  weeks.  After  a  ten  minute  rest,  punctuated  by  Boche 
artillery  fire,  the  men  moved  on  toward  Brabant,  in  excellent  spirits, 
singing  and  joking  as  they  went.  We  stopped  at  the  kitchen  of  some 
engineer  unit  long  enough  to  get  our  first  cup  of  coffee  in  sixteen 
days — the  men  of  this  unknown  outfit  sharing  their  breakfast  with 
us.  The  march  was  continued  to  the  C6te  des  Roches,  where 
regimental  headquarters  were  and  where  Colonel  Pope  met  and 
complimented  the  company  for  its  fine  work  and  endurance." 

The  Second  Battalion  of  the  114th  with  Company  B,  111th 
Machine  Gun  Battalion  attached,  now  held  the  front  line.  The 
First  Battalion  was  in  support  in  the  Ravin  de  Molleville,  and  the 
Third  Battalion  was  in  reserve  south  of  the  Bois  de  Brabant.  The 
strength  of  the  regiment,  however,  was  so  depleted  that  it  was 
necessary  to  put  the  entire  support  battalion  in  the  first  line  and 
to  use  two  companies  from  the  reserve  as  a  support. 

The  remaining  days  until  the  division  was  relieved  by  the 
79th  Division  were  more  or  less  uneventful  for  all  the  men  of  the 
29th  except  those  of  the  114th  Infantry.  This  regiment,  as  the 
right  element  of  our  line,  participated  in  the  attack  of  the  26th 
Division  on  Belleu  Bois,  Carrefour  de  la  Croix  Antoine,  Bois 
d*Ormont  and  the  western  edge  of  the  Bois  de  Moirey.     The

artillery  preparation  for  this  operation  began  at  10  o'clock, 
October  27th,*  and  the  attack,  at  11  o'clock.  In  order  to  maintain 
liaison  with  the  26th  the  right  of  our  line  pushed  forward  to  the 
attack  with  them,  advanced  in  an  easterly  direction  about  800 
meters,  and  maintained  close  liaison  with  the  26th  Division.  The 
advance  of  our  lines  was  made  without  serious  losses,  and  the 
line  was  quickly  reorganized.  Company  C,  of  the  114th,  was 
detailed  as  a  combat  liaison  company,  between  that  regiment  and 
the  101st  Infantry  of  the  26th  Division.  Captain  Harry  B, 
Doremus,  the  company  commander,  was  killed  while  leading  his 
company^  during  this  the  last  advance  in  which  the  division 
participated.  The  Machine  Gun  Company  of  the  114th  was 
assigned  the  mission  to  fire  a  barrage  covering  the  advance  of  the 
101st  Infantry  (26th  Division),  but  during  the  night  of  October 
26-27th  the  company  was  gassed,  sustaining  so  many  casualties 
that  only  two  officers  and  four  men  were  left  to  operate  the 
three  guns  which  were  to  fire  the  barrage.  At  10:45  Captain 
Butcher,  commanding  Company  B,  111th  Machine  Gun  Bat- 
talion, came  to  the  position,  and  finding  Captain  Keating 
short  of  men,  volunteered  to  assist  in  firing  the  barrage.  Lieu- 
tenant Lawrence  A.  Maulsby  in  advancing  to  his  gun  was  thrown 
flat  by  the  bursting  of  a  shell.  As  he  recovered  and  tried  to  take 
his  position,  a  shell  struck  the  gun  positions,  killed  Captain 
Butcher  and  Captain  Keating,  severely  wounded  the  remaining 
four  men  and  put  all  of  the  guns  out  of  action.  Both  of  these 
officers  were  awarded  the  D.  S.  C.  posthumously.*

made  his  way  there,  manned  the  guns,  and  kept  up  a  steady  fire  until  he  himself  was 
kiUed  by  a  shell.  His  action  was  purely  voluntary,  but  realizing  the  necessity  of

command  of  the  machine  gun  company  of  his  regiment  and  every  available  gunner

objective  under  heavy  machine  gun  fire.  The  successful  completion  of  his  work 
saved  a  most  serious  situation,  but  in  the  performance  of  his  duty  he  was  killed. "

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

During  the  afternoon  of  the  27th  the  enemy  counter-attacked 
the  26th  Division  on  our  right  and  extended  his  attack  over  a 
portion  of  our  right  flank  occupied  by  the  114th  Infantry.  Driv- 
ing the  enemy  back,  we  advanced  our.Une  about  200  meters  and 
greatly  improved  our  position. 

We  Are  Relieved  by  the  79th  Division. 

Field  Orders  No.  24^  issued  at  noon  October  27th,  announced 
the  long-awaited  relief  of  the  division,  whose  place  was  to  be 
taken  by  the  79th  Division.  This  necessitated  a  reorganization 
of  the  sector,  so  as  to  enable  the  incoming  units  to  take  up  the 
positions  without  too  great  difficulty.  The  relief^  of  the  division 
was  finally  accomplished  by  the  night  of  the  29-30th.  Command 
of  the  sector  passed  from  General  Morton  to  General  Kuhn,  of 
the  79th  Division,  at  8  o'clock,  October  SOth.  At  that  hour  the 
29th  Division  Headquarters  opened  at  Marguerite  College,  Verdim.

extraordinary  heroism  in  action  m  the  Ravin  de  la  Veux  Michieux,  France,  October 
26-27, 1918.  Upon  being  notified  that  an  enemy  shell  had  struck  a  dugout  occupied  by 
the  brigade  radio  detac&nent  he  ran  to  the  aid  of  the  buried  men  and  worked  tire- 
lessly to  rescue  them.^  Despite  the  fact  that  numerous  gas  and  high  explosive  shells

WE  ARE  RELIEVED  BY  THE  79th  DIVISION 

The  historian  of  the  Headquarters  Company  of  the  115th 
Infantry  tells  in  a  few  words  the  feelings  of  his  company  at  this 
change : 

"When  the  relief  by  the  79th  Division  was  completed  during  the 
night  of  29-30th  October  and  the  company  had  come  out  of  the  greatest 
battle  of  the  War,  so  far  as  the  American  forces  were  concerned,  and 
gathered  in  what  shelter  they  could  find  in  the  Cdte  des  Roches,  a 
deep,  wonderful  inward  feeling  of  thankfulness  lingered  in  the  heart 
of  every  man.  The  three  weeks  had  been  a  soul,  body,  and  con- 
science trying  ordeal,  which  every  man  in  the  company  had  met 
unflinchingly.  Not  a  man  was  missing  from-  his  post  of  duty  except 
from  sickness,  death  or  wounds.  The  company  had  made  a  proud 
record  and  those  of  its  ranks  who  sleep  on  in  honored  repose  there 
along  the  shaded  edge  of  the  Consenvoye  Woods  know  in  their 
eternal  dreams  that  their  great  gift  was  made  not  in  vain — ^Fate  chose 
their  dearest  gift  and  they  gave  all  without  a  murmur.  'Ave 
Valeque',  noble  comrades! 

"The  day  of  the  80th  of  October  was  spent  in  the  C6te  des  Roches. 
On  the  night  of  the  30-31st  October  the  company  marched  in  with 
the  regiment  to  Verdun.  It  was  a  distance  of  some  sixteen  kilo- 
meters, but  spirits  were  light,  which  made  the  burden  of  the  heavy 
pack  trivial.  All  along  the  road,  in  the  darkness,  fresh  troops  were 
met  coming  up, — ^wagon  trains,  engineers  and  infantry,  amid  that 
strange  silence  of  veteran  troops  swinging  wearily  along  the  road  in 
the  blackness  of  the  night.  The  steady  muffled  grind  of  their  hob- 
nailed shoes,  and  the  rumble  of  the  wagons  were  the  only  sounds  to 
disturb  the  quiet — this,  and  the  dull  report  of  the  big  guns  as  they 
sent  their  missiles  of  destruction  toward  the  enemy  brought  the 
realization  that  the  game  was  still  being  bitterly  played.  At  Verdun 
the  company  went  into  billets  in  the  basement  of  the  Neil  Barracks 
where  they  remained  until  the  next  night,  when  they  hiked  to  the 
woods  Moulin  Brule,  and  remained  during  the  night.  Next  morning 
a  long  colunm  of  busses  manned  by  Chinese  Colonials  took  the  weary, 
lousy,  dirty  veterans  to  Beurey  with  sixteen  men  to  a  truck.  After 
a  six  hours'  bus  ride  they  climbed  out  and  were  assigned  to  billets 
where  they  quickly  sunk  into  a  well  earned  rest  in  the  hay  of  the 
cow  sheds."

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

As  with  the  company »  so  with  the  division:  a  period  of 
twenty-one  days  of  active  campaigning  was  ended.  Reduced 
more  than  one-third  in  strength/  having  faced  parts,  at  least,  of 
six  enemy  divisions,  having  advanced  its  lines  in  the  face  of  the 
most  skilful  and  stubborn  opposition  over  more  than  seven  kilo- 
meters of  the  most  difficult  terrain,  and  having  captured  more 
than  2500  prisoners,  with  countless  materiel  of  war,  the  Blue  and 
Gray  Division  retired  for  a  period  of  rest  and  recuperation. 

The  men  were  conscious  of  having  performed  unhesitatingly 
and  courageously  every  duty  imposed  upon  them,  and  they  were 
proud  beyond  words  of  the  name  the  division  had  made  for  itself. 
Men  looked  at  one  another  in  amazement: — strong,  vigorous, 
hardy  men  came  out  of  the  ordeal,  emaciated,  with  eyes  sunken, 
with  voices  husky  from  gas,  with  bodies  sadly  imdemourished, 
and  with  nerves  strained  to  the  breaking  point;  but  literally 
radiating  that  fine,  spiritual  something  which  had  aroused 
exhausted  physical  bodies  to  renewed  activity,  which  had  made 
men  of  immatured  boys,  and  which  had  driven  tired  and  weary 
men  to  victory!  God  grant  that,  some  day,  somehow,  that  spirit 
which  possessed  our  fighting  citizens  as  they  came  through  such 
ordeals* may  be  translated  into  the  civiclife  of  our  country! 

Exhaustedi  beyond  words,  clothed  for  the  most  part  in  tattered 
uniforms,  with  their  equipment  mud-stained,  blood-soaked  and 
depleted,  scarcely  a  company  had  more  than  one  of  its  officers  or 
one-third  of  its  complement  of  non-commissioned  officers  and 
men  left.  Not  a  man  but  had  seen  his  friends  and  his  comrades 
killed  and  dying  before  his  very  eyes;  not  a  man  but  knew  that 
what  men  called  ''nerve''  was  the  only  thing  that  had  enabled 
himito^make  that  lastllong'march'beyond  the  range  of  the  enemy's 
artillery;  not  a  man'ofithemibutwould'hold  as  a'priceless  heritage 
the  memory  of  having  offered  himself,  his  all,  a  willing  sacrifice 
on  the  altar  of  his  country's  need;  not  a  man  but  would  have 
refused  the  wealth  of  Croesus  for  the  simple  knowledge  that  he 
could  look  death  in  the  face,  "a  gentleman  imafraid".

Modem  warfare  definitely  has  established  one  thing  if  nothing 
more — that  no  single  branch  of  the  service,  however  efficient, 
wins  wars,  but  rather  that  there  must  be  a  co-ordination  of  all 
arms  and  of  all  of  the  services.  Therefore,  to  consider  the  story 
of  our  participation  in  the  Meuse-Argonne  Battle  ended  twith  the 
story  of  the  fighting  troops  would  be  to  leave  untold  some  of  the 
most  interesting  and  important  phases  of  the  division's  work. 

Some  account  of  the' work  of  the  Medical  Corps,  the  Engineers, 
the  Signal  Corps,  the  Ammunition  Train,  the  Supply  Train,  the 
Military  Police,  the  Headquarters  Troop  and  the  Veterinary 
Section,  during  the  days  of  battle  must,  therefore,  be  given. 

The  lOUh  Sanitary  Train 

On  October  7th,  1918,  the  various  elements  of  the  Sanitary 
Train  had  been  placed  in  readiness  for  the  attack  as  follows: 
Train  Headquarters,  Headquarters  Ambulance  Companies,  Head- 
quarters Field  Hospital  Section,  the  four  Ambulance  Companies, 
and  Sanitary  Squads,  41  and  42,  at  Glorieux  Village,  just  outside 
of  Verdun.  The  114th  Field  Hospital  Company  had  established 
a  Triage  Hospital  in  the  French  Military  hospital  at  that  point. 
The  Divisional  (Medical  Supply  Department  was.  attached  to  this 
company.  The  llSth,  115th  and  116th  Field  Hospital  Companies 
were  in  reserve  at  Rampont. 

At  6  A.  If.,  on  October  8th,  as  the  infantry  advanced,  the 
113th  and  115th  Ambulance  Companies  were  moved  forward 
from  Glorieux  to  Chamy,  where  ambulance  stations,  kitchens  and 
motor  repair  forces  were  located.  Shortly  after  8  o'clock  the 
same  morning  the  113th  Ambulance  Company  established  a 
dressing  station  north  of  Samogneux.  This  dressing  station  was 
under  shell  fire  for  the  greater  part  of  the  day.  At  2  p.  ic.,  the 
same  day  the  dressing  station  and  litter  bearer  section  of  the 
115th  Ambulance  Company  proceeded  from  Chamy  to  a  point 
on  the  Samogneux-Brabant  Road,  midway  between  these  two

places,  and  established  a  dressing  station  in  a  quarry  which  was 
well  protected  from  shell  fire.  The  llSth  Ambulance  Company 
later  in  the  afternoon  also  moved  to  the  village  of  Brabant,  and 
on  October  10th,  to  the  Bois  de  Consenvoye,  where  it  remained  as 
long  as  the  division  was  in  the  front  line. 

On  October  10th  at  1  :S0  p.  ic.  the  dressing  station  and  litter 
bearer  section  of  the  116th  Ambulance  Company  established  a 
dressing  station  about  three  kilometers  north  of  Samogneux,  and 
at  6  p.  If.  the  following  day,  the  115th  Ambulance  Company  also 
moved  to  the  same  point.  Both  remained  there  until  October 
19th,  much  of  the  time  imder  heavy  shell  fire. 

The  114th  Ambulance  Company  remained  in  reserve  at 
Glorieux  Village  and  furnished  special  details  for  various  duties. 
At  the  request  of  the  Corps  Surgeon,  the  18th  French  Division 
was  furnished  a  detachment  of  four  non-commissioned  officers 
and  thirty  privates,  on  the  nights  of  October  10th  and  12th  to 
help  evacuate  French  wounded.  Another  detachment  of  this 
company  was  on  duty  at  the  Triage  Hospital,  but  because  the 
company  was  an  animal  drawn  organization,  its  ambulances  were 
only  used  for  some  short  hauls  over  rough  roads  near  the  front, 
and  in  the  removal  of  slightly  woimded  from  the  station  at 
Chamy.  On  October  11th,  a  station  for  slightly  woimded,  with 
a  personnel  of  one  officer  and  ten  enlisted  men  from  the  114th 
Ambulance  Company,  was  established  at  Chamy,  where  it 
remained  imtil  the  division  was  withdrawn. 

On  October  19th,  the  Division  Surgeon,  Lieutenant-Colonel 
John  B.  Huggins,  of  the  Regular  Army  Medical  Corps,  was 
evacuated,  because  of  broncho-pneumonia.  Lieutenant-Colonel 
J.  Harry  Ullrich,  formerly  of  the  Maryland  National  Guard 
Medical  Corps,  commanding  the  104th  Sanitary  Train,  succeeded 
him  as  Division  Surgeon.  On  the  same  day,  the  dressing  station 
party  and  the  litter  bearer  section  of  the  116th  Ambulance  Com- 
pany were  withdrawn  from  the  front  and  returned  to  Glorieux 
Village.  The  115th  Ambulance  Company's  Dressing  Station  was 
removed  from  its  position  in  the  Haumont  Valley  and  returned 
to  the  quarry  on  the  Samogneux-Brabant  Road,  where  it  operated 
until  withdrawn  on  October  29th. 

The  104th  Field  Hospital  Company  operated  a  Triage  Hos- 
pital at  Glorieux  for  the  reception,  classification,  preparation, 
disposition  and  the  recordation  of  all  patients,  sick  or  wounded, 

[  206  ]

from  the  division.!^  The  personnel  was  reinforced  with  details 
from  other  organizations  of  the  Sanitary  Train,  and  with  six 
Division  Specialists.  From  October  8-29th,  5,660  cases  passed 
through  this  Triage,  4,865^  of  them  from  the  29th  Division.  The 
remainder  were  from  the  26th,  88rd  and  80th  American  Divisions 
and  the  18th  French  Division.  All  patients  received  hot  food,* 
their  dressings  were  either  reapplied  or  readjusted,  and  splints 
were  applied  to  all  fractures,  so  that  the?patients  would  be  com- 
fortable during  the  ride  to  the  evacuation  hospital  in  the  rear. 

A  summary  of  our  losses  from  the  morning  of  October  8th  to 
the  morning  of  October  80th,  as  compiled  by  the  Medical 
Department,  is  as  follows : 

Officers  Enlisted  Men 

KiUed  in  Action 21  884 

Died  of  Wounds 2  69 

Severely  Wounded 38  •  754 

Slightly  Wounded 64  1629 

Gassed 20  1616 

Psycho  Neurosis 4  89 

Sick  and  Injured 46  819 

Total 191  6861 

This  represents  and  includes  only  organizations  which  formed 
a  part  of  the  29th  Division  and  does  not  include  those  attached. 

The  total  strength  of  the  division  (exclusive  of  the  Field 
Artillery  Brigade)  on  October  9th  was  20,222  men.  Assuming 
that  as  its  avet'age  strength,  23  per  cent  of  the  conmiand  was 
evacuated  through  the  Triage  Hospital^^during  the  engagement, 
while  2.6  per  cent  of  the  command  was  killed. 

The  transportation  of  the  sick  and  wounded  from  the  front 
lines  to  the  Triage  Hospital  was  accomplished  principally  by  the 
ambulance  sections  of  the  113th  and  115th  Ambulance  Companies. 
For  three  weeks  these  ambulances  were  constantly  running  night 
and  day,  over  roads  in  places  nearly  impassable,  without  spare 
parts  to  replace  those  worn  out  or  materials  for  making  the  neces- 

^  156  Officers  and  4709  Enlisted  Men. 

*  Tbe  Red  Cross  supplied  the  kitchen  at  the  Triage"  with  materials  for  hot  chocolate, 
coffee,  milk,  soups,  bread,  jam  and  other  such  things.  Chewing  gum,  candy, 
chocolate  and  cigarettes  were  furnished  the  wounded  at  this  place  and  at  the 
dressing  stations  on  the  front.  Needless  to  say,  these  were  gratefully  received  and 
added  much  to  the  comfort  of  the  injured.

sary  repair.  Several  cars  were  injured  by  shell  fire,  but  ^ritH  t 
exception  of  one  which  received  a  direct  hit  that  kille<l  tlir 
patients,  all  were  put  back  in  service  within  the  short  space  of 
few  hours  after  their  accidents.  The  slightly  wounclecl  an 
slightly  gassed  patients  were  returned  from  the  front  in  empt 
ammunition  or  supply  train  trucks. 

The  experiences  of  the  113th  Ambulance  Company »  so  Trej 
described  by  Wagoner  Ralph  J.  Robinson^  of  that  companj^ 
may  be  taken  as  illustrative  of  the  work  of  the  entire  M^edica 
Corps  of  the  division.  His  description  of  the  march  of  his  com- 
pany to  its  final  station  in  the  battle  is  so  interesting  and 
informative  to  the  uninitiated,  that  it  deserves  to  be  quoted 
at  length: 

"Along  every  road  branching  out  from  Conde — and  these  roads 
through  divisions  and  re-divisions  covered  the  country  like   the 
intricate  network  of  a  spider's  web — ^the  various  units  of  the  £9th 
Division  lay  in  the  open  fields.    Rain,  as  usual,  fell  steadily  day  and 
night,  and  the  hardships  of  these  soldiers  were  greatly  increased  by 
very  cold  weather.    Miles  and  miles  of  trucks  driven  by  Chinese 
from  French  Indo-China,  lined  the  roads  alongside  which  the  regi- 
ments lay.  The  initial  stages  of  the  Verdun  offensive  had  commenced ; 
and  the  Blue  and  Gray  was  being  held  in  reserve,  ready  at  a  moment's 
notice  to  be  rushed  to  the  front.    For  five  days  the  men  lived  and 
slept  in  the  mud,  and  ambulances  were  busy  transporting  to  hospitals 
those  who  succumbed  to  the  effects  of  rain  and  cold.    Shelter  tents 
were  not  pitched,  because,  once  the  order  was  received,  there  would 
be  no  time  to  roll  packs  before  boarding  the  trucks,  and  such  were 
momentarily  expected.    But  the  attack  had  developed  so  success- 
fully, the  reserves  were  not  needed  the  first  week  of  the  offensive. 

"On  the  last  day  of  September  Ambulance  Company  113  left 
Conde  for  Rampont,  the  final  stop  before  Verdun.    This  hike  was 
most  exhausting.    For  hours  the  men  marched  through  black  dark- 
ness, mud  deep  under  foot,  a  cold,  cutting  wind  driving  the  pelting 
rain  full  into  Uieir  faces,  packs  heavy  from  the  wet.    They  had  left 
Conde  just  after  nightfall;  and  were  tired,  foot-sore,  cold,  and  hungry. 
On  the  road  straight  ahead  an  unusually  dark  mass  of  clouds  hung 
like  a  funeral  pall,  low  over  the  horizon.    Resting  upon  this  sombre 
foundation  was  a  vivid  ribbon  of  lighter  sky.    The  contrast  was 
striking.    The  tired  eyes  of  the  marching  men,  upraised,  could  see, 
fifteen  miles  distant,  star-shells,  or  the  flash  of  bursting  shrapnel,  or 
a  glow  as  of  sheet  lightning  upon  a  summer's  evening,  thrown  upon 
this  inky  background,  like  pictures  upon  a  screen.    Once  as  they 
tramped  through  the  streets  of  what  had  been  a  village,  ghostly,

ragged  walls,  shadowy  piles  of  debris,  unreal,  weird,  like  some 
blighting  memory,  loomed  vague  and  uncertain  upon  their  sight. 
They  had  been  marching  for  hours  directly  toward  the  battle-front, 
the  field  of  death.  It  was  their  goal;  this,  which  seen  from  a  distance, 
was  so  beautiful,  yet  in  reality  so  hideous  and  awful  and  full  of 
human  suffering.  In  a  subsconscious  way  they  thought  of  this,  of 
terrific  battles,  past  and  to  come,  of  this  soul-stirring  struggle  in 
which  they  hoped  to  play  their  part  with  heroism  and  success.  The 
darkness  gave  place  to  the  gray  light  which  filtered  through  the 
heavy,  moist  sky.  It  was  9  o'clock  when,  at  the  Uttle  town  of  Ippe- 
court,  having  covered  forty  kilometers,  twenty-five  miles,  the  journey 
ended.  The  men  were  too  exhausted  to  care  for  food;  they  threw 
themselves  upon  the  muddy  street  and  prayed  that  there  would  be 
no  delay  in  arranging  for  billets.  By  an  unusual  stroke  of  good  luck, 
unoccupied  French  barracks  were  found,  equipped  with  bunks.  Such 
cots  and  such  barracks  were  luxuries.  Packs  were  unrolled,  blankets 
spread,  tired,  sleepy  eyes  closed:  the  men  were  sleeping  the  sleep  of 
exhaustion. 

Verdun, 

'*At  12:80  A.M.,  October  5th,  our  column  wormed  and  twisted 
its  way  silently  into  Glorieux,  and  by  the  light  of  the  stars  we  soon 
became  aware  that  we  were  in  a  ruined  town.  Ragged  walls  loomed 
up  out  of  the  darkness;  and,  as  we  became  more  accustomed  to  our 
surroundings,  we  could  dimly  distinguish  the  outlines  of  ruined 
houses.  Some  were  roofless,  other  gaping  with  shell  holes;  here  one 
wall  standing,  there  another.  Orders  were  given,  and  silently  we 
dispersed  and  found  our  way  into  our  allotted  billets.  No  unneces- 
sary noise,  no  lights.  We  felt  our  way  into  a  house,  some  going  up 
stairs,  some  down;  and  unslinging  our  packs  and  procuring  blankets 
we  sunk  on  the  hard  floors,  or  stretched  out  on  some  tables  that  were 
discovered,  and  endeavored  to  get  what  sleep  we  could  before  dawn. 
Flares  were  playing  along  the  horizon,  guns  grumbling  and  booming, 
but  by  this  time  those  signs  and  sounds  had  become  part  of  our  life, 
and  we  slept  undisturbed. 

"We  saw  what  we  could  of  the  town  from  the  vantage  point  of 
our  billet.  We  saw  also  an  arrow  and  a  sign  marked  'Citadel,  Verdun, 
one  kilometer.'  Who  could  resist!  Verdun!  Verdun,  the  historic, 
Verdun,  the  glorious,  and  just  one  kilometer  away!  What  an  oppor- 
tunity! Here  was  the  Verdun  we  had  heard  so  much  about;  here 
was  the  Verdun  which  had  withstood  the  repeated  attacks  of  the 
flower  of  the  German  Army!  Here  was  that  city  of  cities  that, 
pounded  and  swept  by  a  rain  of  shells  for  months,  still  stood  inviolate 
for  France,  unconquered  and  free !  What  could  be  expected?  Orders 
were  not  to  leave  our  billets;  but  to  go  home  and  confess  we  had  been 
within  five-eighths  of  a  mile  from  Verdun  and  had  not  seen  it?  The 
temptation  was  too  great.  Stepping  through  a  great  shell  hole  in 
the  garden  wall,  we  stole  off.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

A  Solemn  Occasion, 

"Glorieux,  within  easy  range  of  German  guns,  had  been  lately 
spared  bombardment  because  of  a  hospital  located  there.  In  this 
instance,  the  Hun  respected  the  sign  of  the  Red  Cross.  This  hospital 
was  taken  over  by  Field  Hospital  114  of  the  104th  Sanitary  Train- 
Through  this  hospital  passed  within  the  next  three  weeks  many 
thousands  of  wounded  soldiers.  It  was  here  Ambulance  Company 
1 13's  ambulances  brought  their  loads  of  suffering  men.  It  was  through 
here  12  per  cent  of  their  own  number  were  to  pass,  and  two  were  to 
die. 

"Upon  the  eve  of  active  participation  in  the  gigantic  offensive 
which  was  being  so  successfully  staged  by  American  soldiers  in  the 
Verdun  Sectors,  Captain  Anderson  called  his  men  together.  It  was 
a  solemn  occasion.  The  ambulance  section  and  a  few  litter-bearers 
had  seen  action;  but  the  dressing  station  detail  and  the  major  por- 
tion of  the  bearers  had  never  handled  a  wounded  man.  The  company 
as  a  whole  would  within  a  few  hours  be  face  to  face  with  conditions 
as  trying  as  man  had  ever  faced  in  any  sector.  It  was  almost  a 
certainty  that  among  the  men  assembled  some  would  assuredly 
receive  wounds  and  others  death.  But  Captain  Anderson  spoke  not 
of  this  somber  feature,  so  apparent  to  all.  Instead,  in  a  few  simple, 
well  chosen  sentences,  he  declared  his  confidence  in  their  ability  and 
courage,  because  of  which  he  willingly  trusted  to  their  keeping  the 
honor  of  the  company  and  the  glory  which  is  the  reward  of  difficult 
tasks  faithfully  performed.  Most  important  of  all,  he  asserted,  was 
the  necessity  to  remember  the  ideal  of  service.  To  them  fell  the  task 
of  ministering  to  those  who  received  wounds  in  their  country's 
service.  It  was  not  their  peculiar  sphere  to  take  life,  but  to  save  it. 
Upon  their  devotion  to  duty,  their  coolness  and  skill,  human  life 
would  depend.  One  could  not  for  the  sake  of  the  grievously  wounded, 
the  suffering,  the  dying,  do  other  than  one's  very  best.  If  they 
faltered,  held  back,  others  would  perish.  'Quit  yourselves  like  men,* 
he  urged.  Tight  a  good  fight,  but  above  all,  keep  faith  with  your 
helpless  brother.' 

'The  impression  one  sometimes  has  that  ambulance  companies 
have  safe  and  easy  work  to  perform,  arises  doubtless  through  failure 
to  recognize  that  ambulance  companies  have  many  and  varied  tasks 
to  perform  in  transporting  the  wounded  from  the  battlefields  to  the 
base  hospitals,  scores,  even  hundreds,  of  miles  to  the  rear.  The 
element  of  personal  danger  is,  of  course,  absent  among  ambulance 
men  attached  to  base  hospitals  and  embarkation  ports.  One  is 
comparatively  safe  when  working  with  evacuating  ambulance  com- 
panies whose  duty  is  to  transport  the  wounded  from  field  to  evacuat- 
ing hospitals  located  behind  the  zone  of  the  advance.  But  an  ambu- 
lance company  attached  to  a  combat  division  operates  upon  a  battle 
front.  Its  first-aid  men  and  litter-l>earers  are  called  upon  frequently 
to  go  over  the  top  immediately  behind  the  doughboys  as  they  charge;

from  No  Man's  Land  or  from  fields  over  which  the  infantry  have  just 
swept  they  bring  back  wounded  to  regimental  aid  stations  located 
either  in  the  first  line  trench  or  in  immediate  juxtaposition;  from 
these  regimental  aid  stations  litter-bearers  assist  the  disabled  soldier 
to  the  Ambulance  Company  Dressing  Station. 

Brabant. 

"That  night  the  Dressing  Station  was  moved  to  the  completely 
destroyed  town  of  Brabant,  and  established  in  two  concrete  dugouts 
used  by  the  Germans  as  Aid  Stations,  and  full  of  Hun  splints,  A.T.S. 
and  other  medical  appliances. 

**Next  morning,  Colonel  Huggins,  in  company  with  Captain 
Anderson,  staged  a  reconnoitering  trip  to  the  lines  of  the  outmost 
infantry.  They  found  them  in  the  now  celebrated  Bois  de  Consen- 
voye,  about  a  half  of  which  had  been  cleared  of  the  Huns.  Alongside 
the  roadway,  a  hundred  yards  within  this  woods  and  a  hundred  yards 
behind  the  front  line  they  discovered  an  ideal  site  in  what  had  a 
few  hours  before  been  some  German  colonel's  headquarters.  But  it 
was  most  dangerously  located.  *Do  you  think  you  can  hold  this 
down?'  queried  Colonel  Huggins,  and  Captain  Anderson  unhesitat- 
ingly replied,  *I  can,  sir.'  And  thus  it  was  that  Ambulance  Company 
1 13  established  a  dressing  station  closer  to  the  enemy  than  that  of 
any  other  company;  for  three  weeks  they  held  it,  though  ambulances 
were  blown  to  bits,  dressing  station  and  litter  men  kiUed,  and  these 
woods  combed  daily  by  Hun  artillery  and  machine  gun  fire. 

"It  is  also  interesting  to  note  that  when,  on  October  29th,  Ambu- 
lance Company  118  was  relieved  by  the  Sanitary  Train  of  the  79th 
Division,  the  ambulance  company  which  took  over  this  station  failed 
to  hold  it  for  a  single  night  before  falling  back  to  the  Chalk  Cliff 
Station. 

"One  morning  Major  General  Morton  stopped  an  ambulance  on 
the  hill  beyond  the  Bois  de  Consenvoye,  and  asked  information  con- 
cerning the  whereabouts  of  a  certain  unit.  Sergeant  Lowe,  not 
possessing  the  desired  knowledge,  offered  to  show  the  general  to  a 
P.C.  close  by.  Here,  General  Morton  was  able,  by  the  use  of  the 
'phone,  to  locate  the  missing  company.  'You  did  not  know  much, 
.sergeant,'  he  said,  when  he  returned,  'but  you  knew  more  than  anyone 
else  that  I  met.'  Leaving  his  car  behind,  the  general  walked  on  with 
Sergeant  Lowe  to  the  Dressing  Station,  which  he  inspected.  A 
heavy  bombardment  of  the  woods  around  the  station  began,  but 
General  Morton,  without  gas  mask  or  helmet,  refused  to  take  shelter. 
Instead,  as  calmly  as  though  machine  gun  bullets  were  not  buzzing 
overhead,  or  shells  tearing  up  the  earth  or  cutting  limbs  from  trees 
and  dropping  them  at  his  feet,  the  general  ordered  everyone  within 
the  dugout  and  saw  the  order  was  executed;  but  himself  remained  in 
the  open.  This  very  inspiring  example  of  per3onal  bravery  greatly 
impressed  those  who  were  fortunate  enough  to  witness  the  incident.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Before  leaving  the  Dressing  Station  General  Morton  said  that  he 
thought  the  Dressing  Station  was  possibly  a  little  too  far  advanced; 
but,  if  it  could  be  held,  so  much  the  better.  'Your  company  is  doing 
great  work  here,'  said  General  Morton,  'and  do  not  think  I  do  not 
know  it.' 

"Always  there  was  a  continuous  flow  of  wounded  through  the 
station,  but,  of  course,  during  times  of  charge  and  countercharge,  the 
stream  of  injured  swelled  to  larger  proportions.  Between  three 
thousand  and  four  thousand  wounded  received  treatment  at  this 
station  and  were  sent  on  to  Field  Hospital  1 14  from  October  8th  to  the 
30th.  Some  were  badly  wounded,  some  had  received  slight  injuries — 
just  as  they  came  from  the  battlefields — ^all  sorts,  all  conditions.  At 
times,  some  of  the  Dressing  Station  men  would  be  without  sleep  for 
twenty-four,  thirty-six,  or  even  for  forty-eight  hours.  Private 
Maginnis  twice  continued  at  his  duties  until  he  fainted  from  sheer 
exhaustion.  All  the  Dressing  Station  personnel  were  strictly  on  the 
job,  some  of  them  afterwards  being  cited  for  faithfulness  to  duty. 

Litter-Bearers. 

"The  many  and  varied  experiences  of  litter-bearers  make  most 
interesting  stories.  They  are  commonly  known  as  'the  men  who  never 
smile'  because  dangerous  tasks  bring  them  so  constantly  into  contact, 
not  with  the  glory  and  high  excitement  of  the  charge,  but  with  those 
unfortunate  victims  whose  torn  bodies  bear  undying  testimony  of 
courage  and  devotion.  But,  while  it  is  true  they  have  little  cause  for 
rejoicing  in  their  work — other  than  such  satisfaction  as  is  always 
the  possession  of  those  who  faithfully  perform  the  full  measure  of 
duty — ^they  nevertheless,  while  collecting  the  human  debris  scattered 
around  over  ground  just  wrung  from  the  foe,  were  frequently 
impressed  with  those  thoughts  'which  lie  too  deep  for  words.*  There 
are  some  of  war's  aspects  of  which  no  pen  can  write;  and  the  valor, 
endurance  and  sacri^ce  of  the  Blue  and  Gray  division,  and  of  the 
countless  tragedies  of  the  litter-bearers  found  lurking  on  battle 
grounds  are  beyond  the  power  of  words  to  portray. 

"Says  Corporal  Elste:  'Though  looked  upon  by  many  outside  the 
army  and  even  by  some  within  as  being  "soft,"  the  duty  of  a  litter 
bearer  in  an  ambulance  company  is  one  of  extreme  and  constant 
danger.  I  have  noted  many  times,  when  circumstances  necessitated, 
they  shouldered  litters  and  proceeded  to  the  front  line,  often  into 
No  Man's  Land,  to  rescue  wounded  soldiers  during  heavy  enemy  fire, 
while  infantrymen  looked  on  from  sheltering  trench  or  shell  hole. 
I  am  the  first  to  take  off  my  hat  to  the  doughboy,  and  those  of  the 
115th  Infantry  whom  we  served  are,  in  my  opinion,  without  their 
peers  in  Prance.  Who,  I  ask,  beside  the  doughboy  and  the  engineer, 
the  Signal  Corps  and  the  litter-bearers,  advance  unprotected  into 
No  Man's  Land?'

THE  MEDICAL  CORPS 

Ambulance  Service, 

^'Captain  Anderson  exercised  considerable  judgment  in  assigning 
such  duties  to  each  of  the  non-coms,  of  the  Transportation  Section 
as  would  leave  no  loophole  for  error.  He  guarded  against  this  possible 
contingency  by  such  forethought  as  rendered  a  breakdown  in  the 
evacuation  of  the  wounded  to  the  rear  impossible. 

"'An  ambulance  after  leaving  the  Dressing  Station  with  its  load  of 
wounded  would  be  immediately  replaced  by  another,  which  was 
usually  detailed  from  Chamy.  This  rule  always  held  good  and  any 
additional  cars  needed  were  obtained  by  the  transportation  sergeant 
detailed  for  this  purpose.  The  system  proved  very  satisfactory  and 
the  station,  even  after  it  had  reached  its  most  advanced  point,  was 
evacuated  of  its  wounded  with  promptness. 

"Drivers  and  orderlies  worked  steadily  with  but  one  thought  in 
mind — that  of  keeping  the  wheels  of  the  system  of  evacuation  in 
motion.  Nor  did  the  heavy  shell-fire  of  the  enemy  cause  them  to 
slacken  in  their  work  even  though  eight  of  our  twelve  ambulances 
were  struck  by  enemy  shells,  some  of  them  several  times. 

"Some  drivers  in  doing  what,  in  the  eyes  of  their  officers  and 
transportation  non-comms.,  was  their  duty  accomplished  something 
more — a  something  very  valuable  under  the  trying  conditions  which 
existed.  They  inspired  others  by  their  fine  example,  working  for 
long  p)eriods,  thinking  first  and  always  of  their  duties  as  ambulance 
drivers  for  the  evacuation  of  the  wounded.  Principally,  among  these 
stand  out  the  names  of  Wagoners  Ernest  Perkins,  of  V-10^;  Ralph  J. 
Robinson,  of  V-8,  and  Otto  Illian,  of  V-9. 

"Two  notable  examples  of  orderlies  who  by  their  coolness  and 
courage  inspired  their  drivers  were  Privates  Bennanza  and  Greorge 
Hartman. 

"Always  on  the  job  were  the  wagoners  and  the  orderlies,  and 
as  I  have  watched  or  worked  side  by  side  with  them,  I  am  fully  con- 
vinced that  nothing  could  stop  them  in  their  humane  work  but  a 
direct  hit  from  enemy  artillery;  and  in  one  instance  which  I  witnessed 
even  that  failed. 

"In  my  varied  and  interesting  experience  with  ambulance  men, 
two  qualities  which  always  impressed  me  most  were:  a  very  prompt 
and  thoughtful  action  upon  the  arising  of  an  emergency,  and  a  strict 
devotion  to  duty  with  absolute  disregard  of  self.  I  shall  give  a 
number  of  examples  to  illustrate  my  statement: 

"On  a  comparatively  quiet  morning  at  the  Dressing  Station — 

a  Wednesday,  if  I  remember  correctly — ^the  station  had  been  for  over 

an  hour  cleared  of  its  wounded.     It  was  about  9:30  when  Lieutenant 

Amest  said  to  me: 

^  The  letter  "V"  wan  the  distinctive  letter  of  the  Ambulance  Companies,  and  the  numbers 
represented  the  different  vehicles.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION; 

"  'They  are  putting  a  barrage  over  at  10  o'clock  sharp  this  morn- 
ing.' Sure  enough  at  '10  sharp'  our  barrage  went  over  and  was 
responded  to  by  a  pretty  lively  counter-barrage.  The  shells  fell 
thick  and  fast  in  the  wood  around  the  station,  while  they  fell  even 
heavier  on  the  road  which  leads  by  the  station  and  through  the  Bois. 

"The  result  of  their  barrage  soon  became  apparent  when  a  steady 
stream  of  patients  began  to  flow  toward  our  station,  where  the  process 
of  dressing,  assorting  and  evacuating  proceeded  smoothly.  The 
station  was  nearly  'cleared'  once  more  and  many  ambulance  loads 
of  our  shell  torn,  bleeding  lads,  swathed  in  bandages,  had  gone  on 
their  way  to  the  Field  Hospital  in  the  rear,  when  another  ambulance 
was  needed  to  carry  away  ten  slightly  wounded  patients.  One  was 
called  for  and  V-5,  in  charge  of  Wagoner  John  Dailey  pulled  up  to 
the  platform  in  front  of  the  station  from  which  the  patients  were 
loaded.  These  ten  men,  all  of  whom  were  able  to  sit  upright  on  the 
ambulance  seats,  were  loaded  on  and  the  machine  began  its  trip  to 
Glorieux.  But,  before  it  had  gone  twenty  yards,  a  startling 
horrifying  thing  happened!  A  flash  of  blinding  light  lit  up  the  back 
of  the  car,  a  thunderous  report,  and  the  machine  appeared  as  though 
clothed  in  flame  and  smoke!  The  V-5  had  received  a  direct  hit!  But 
Wagoner  Dailey  kept  on  moving,  and  luckily,  too,  for  a  second  shell 
burst  in  the  exact  spot  where  the  first  had  wrought  such  damage. 

"The  rear  body  of  the  ambulance  was  completely  blown  off;  and 
of  the  wounded  three  were  killed  and  the  remaining  seven,  though 
each  received  additional  wounds,  were  still  alive  when  the  hospital 
was  reached.  Wagoner  Dailey  and  Orderly  Stansbury  alone  of 
those  on  the  car  received  no  injury.  A  ragged  hole  showed  through 
the  curtain  just  below  Wagoner  Dailey 's  head,  but  he  escaped  because 
at  the  moment  he  was  leaning  forward  shifting  gears.  Orderly  Stans- 
bury instead  of  being  in  his  seat,  which  was  wrecked,  was  standing 
on  the  running  board.  Sergeant  Lowe,  standing  within  a  few  feet  of 
the  car,  was  knocked  down  and  partially  stunned.  A  fragment  from 
the  shell  struck  his  helmet  a  glancing  blow  and  left  in  it  a  deep 
indenture. 

"The  ambulance  with  its  load  of  dead  and  dying,  shattered  as 
it  was,  passed  steadily  eut  of  view  over  the  hill  and  continued  to 
move  in  a  last  effort  to  escape  the  shell-fire  until  one  of  the  shrapnel- 
torn  wheels  collapsed.  Aid  was  immediately  given  the  freshly 
wounded,  and  in  another  ambulance  they  were  transported  to  the 
hospital.  One  thought  alone  occupied  the  driver's  mind — ^that  of 
removing  his  charges  to  a  place  free  from  shell-fire. 

"On  this  particular  Wednesday  three  of  our  ambulances  were 
hit  by  shrapnel,  two  of  these  being  totally  disabled. 

"During  the  last  days  of  the  action  north  of  Verdun — ^the  days 
which  would  show,  if  anything,  just  what  a  driver  was  able  to 

[214  ] 


THE  MEDICAL  CORPS 

stand  after  days  and  long  nights  of  hard,  steady  driving  under  the 
greatest  difficulties,  with  very  little  to  eat  and  less  sleep — ^many 
interesting  and  creditable  instances  were  brought  to  my  notice. 

''Once,  while  travelling  to  Brabant,  the  machine  on  which  I  was 
riding,  was  deliberately  fired  upon  by  an  enemy  airman.  Doughboys 
sought  shelter,  cooks  deserted  their  kitchens,  everyone  sought  safety 
from  this  hail  of  bullets.  I  looked  at  the  driver.  Wagoner  Smith, 
and  saw  that  he  realized  the  situation.  He  knew  well  the  unwritten 
law  of  an  ambulance  driver,  'Never  abandon  an  ambulance  carrying 
wounded.'  There  was  no  chance  of  shelter  for  the  machine.  He  took 
a  zig-zag  course  in  order  to  present  as  difficult  a  target  as  possible. 
He  came  out  all  right  and  proved  to  me  that  he  was  made  of  the 
right  stuff. 

"Private  Maginnis  tells  of  the  final  departure  of  the  Dressing 
Station  squad  from  their  station  in  the  wood.    He  writes: 

"  *It  was  out  last  day  before  relief  was  to  arrive.  The  day  dawned 
clear  and  beautiful;  everything  seemed  too  peaceful,  and  there  was 
not  a  sound  to  be  heard  except  the  occasional  splutter  of  a  machine 
gun,  whose  eager  operator  took  chance  shots  at  some  moving  object 
in  the  enemy  line.  Among  the  boys  of  the  Dressing  Station  there 
was  a  feeling  of  satisfaction  and  anxiety;  satisfaction,  because  every 
man  knew  deep  down  in  his  heart  he  had  played  his  humble  part  in 
helping  drive  the  Germans  back;  anxiety,  because  we  all  wondered 
if  we  were  going  to  make  a  quick  and  saiFe  get-a-way.  Most  of  our 
infantry  boys  of  the  29th  had  been  relieved  the  night  before,  and  fresh 
troops  were  holding  the  positions  our  tired  but  proud  boys  turned 
over  to  them.  There  was  very  little  work  for  us  on  that  day,  as  the 
new  troops  had  brought  their  own  medical  detachments. 

"  'After  our  breakfast  arrived,  we  started  to  pack  our  surplus 
supplies  so  as  to  be  ready  for  a  speedy  departure  when  our  relief 
appeared.  This  work  was  interrupted  occasionally  by  some  of  the 
shells  the  Huns  were  beginning  to  throw  around;  but  there  was 
nothing  in  this  to  occasion  alarm,  as  they  had  often  shelled  us  many 
dozens  of  times  worse  than  this.  Now  and  then,  a  boy  would  stagger 
in  with  a  shrapnel  wound,  but  nothing  so  very  serious.  Dinner 
arrived,  but  no  news  of  our  relief.  We  began  to  think  we  were  doomed 
to  anothernight  in  "Hell's  Half  Acre,"as  the  place  had  been  rightfully 
named.  Chaplains  Reynolds  and  McLaughlin  came  in  to  bid  us  fare- 
well, as  they  were  also  going  back. 

"  'About  4  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  three  ambulances  arrived  with 
orders  for  us  to  pack  all  our  equipment  in  the  cars  and  return  to 
the  quarry,  where  we  were  operating  another  station.  So,  with 
much  eagerness  and  suppressed  excitement,  we  loaded  ail  our 
property  and  personal  equipment  on  the  cars,  together  with  four 
slightly  wounded  patients. 

[«15  I 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTYNINTH  DIVISION 

"  'Everything  went  fine  until  we  reached  the  top  of  the  hill  on 
the  road  which  leads  to  Brabant;  and  from  there,  as  we  glanced 
ahead,  it  was  impossible  to  see  even  the  road  for  the  smoke  made  hy 
the  exploding  shells.  The  Huns  were  throwing  a  heavy,  harassing 
barrage  on  the  road,  and  it  was  slowly  but  surely  creeping  upon  us. 
Beyond  this  smoke  and  gas  we  all  knew  was  relief;  relief  from  the 
sleepless  nights  we  had  put  in;  plenty  of  good  food;  above  all,  clean 
clothes  and  a  bath.  The  three  cars  came  to  halt  and  we  looked 
the  situation  over.  Someone  turned  around  to  gaze  back  up  the 
road  we  had  just  travelled  over.  At  his  exclamation,  we  turned  and 
saw  shells  also  bursting  behind  us.  We  were  caught  in  a  box  barrage ! 

"  *We  decided  to  take  a  chance  and  run  the  gauntlet.  The  cars 
started  slowly  oflf,  gaining  speed  with  every  foot.  Everyone  wore  a 
determined  look;  we  had  decided,  if  they  were  going  to  get  us,  they 
would  not  find  us  tamely  submitting  to  our  fate.  If  any  ambulance 
ever  made  better  speed  than  the  one  I  was  on,  it  must  have  been  on 
some  National  spc^way.  Down  the  road  we  went  as  fast  as  the 
motors  could  possibly  take  us.    Then — we  hit  the  barrage! 

**  'The  road  had  been  torn  up  by  the  shells,  and  under  ordinary 
conditions,  it  would  have  been  considered  impossible  to  traverse, 
except  by  the  slowest  and  most  careful  driving.  But  this  was  a  case 
of  life  or  death!  The  speed  of  the  humming  motors  was  not  reduced 
a  single  revolution. 

"  'First,  we  ran  into  the  gas!  It  burned  our  eyes  and  made  us 
cough  and  sneeze,  but  it  was  impossible  to  adjust  a  gas  mask  at  the 
rate  we  were  travelling.  If  the  gas  and  the  deep  ruts  and  the  shell- 
hole  craters  had  been  all  we  had  to  contend  with  it  would  have  been 
hard  enough;  but  there  were  the  shells!  They  were  bursting  all 
around  us,  and  several  times,  just  after  we  passed  a  spot  in  the  road 
a  shell  would  tear  it  up.    Then  the  climax  came. 

"  'Shells  hit  simultaneously  on  both  sides  of  the  car,  and  another 
blew  up  a  big  bunch  of  dirt  and  steel  in  front;  we  were  completely 
enveloped  in  a  cloud  of  gas,  smoke  and  flames  caused  by  the  bursting 
shells.  Amid  this  canopy  of  deadly  gas,  dirt,  stone  and  pieces  of 
shell-casing  and  pungent  smoke,  we  still  kept  on.  Only  the  protecting 
hand  of  the  Almighty  pulled  us  safely  through.  Incredible  as  it 
seems,  we  suffered  only  a  few  minor  scratches  and  bruises  made  by 
the  flying  debris 

"  'When  we  pulled  into  the  town  of  Brabant  we  were  splashed  with 
mud,  our  eyes  and  throats  burned  from  the  effects  of  the  gas  we  bad 
passed  through.  We  certainly  presented  a  sorry  picture  to  our 
reUef,  the  S15th  Ambulance  Company,  who  were  waiting  for  us. 
However,  we  were  not  thinking  of  our  appearances  but  of  the  won- 
-^erfully  miraculous  escape  we  had  made.'  "

I04TH  ENODJEEBS  W 


E,  HEADQUARTERB 


THE  ENGINEERS 

The  work  and  the  devotion  to  duty  of  the  entire  Medical 
personnel  was  splendidly  unselfish  and  courageous.  It  fell  to  the 
lot  of  Companies  113th  and  115  th  to  see  the  bulk  of  the  first  line 
service,  and  it  may  be  said  that  the  men  deserve  all  that  the 
historian  of  the  113th  Company  has  said  in  praise  of  their 
conduct. 

The  104th  Engineers. 

The  104th  Engineer  Regiment  had  more  days  of  service  in  the 
Meuse-Argonne  Battle  than  any  other  organization  in  the 
division.  Not  only  was  it  employed  at  the  time  of  our  own 
participation  in  the  campaign  north  of  Verdun,  but,  further, 
while  the  division  was  a  part  of  the  First  American  Army 
Reserve,  it  was  called  upon  to  repair  and  keep  open  the  roads 
assigned  for  the  use  of  the  91st  Division  in  the  attack  of  September 
26th.  The  account  of  that  service,  as  well  as  the  story  of  the 
work  of  the  regiment  with  the  17th  French  Army  Corps  and 
with  the  29th  Division  in  the  attack  east  of  the  Meuse,  follows, 
substantially  as  written  by  the  historian  of  the  104th  Engineer 
Regiment : 

"At  1:20,  the  morning  of  September  28tb,  orders  were  received 
by  the  regiment  to  move  out  immediately  by  bus  to  the  vicinity  of 
Recicourt,  to  debus  there  and  march  to  Avocourt  for  road  work  under 
the  Chief  Engineer,  5th  U.  S.  Corps.  The  shelter  tent  camp  was 
struck  and  the  regiment,  under  command  of  Colonel  Elliott  J.  Dent, 
of  the  Regular  Army,  was  off  in  less  than  an  hour  for  Recicourt 
where  the  busses  arrived  shortly  after  seven  o'clock,  were  unloaded, 
and  the  march  to  Avocourt,  10  kilometers  away,  started  immediately. 
OflScers  were  sent  ahead  to  report  to  the  Engineer  OflScer  in  charge 
of  work  at  Avocourt  and  to  make  a  reconnaissance  of  the  road, 
known  as  the  91st  Division  road,  from  Avocourt  towards  Very,  which 
had  been  assigned  to  the  regiment  to  open  up  and  keep  open  for 
traffic. 

"The  First  Army  had  jumped  off  at  Avocourt  the  morning  of  the 
26th  of  September  and  had  driven  the  Hun  from  the  strong  system 
of  trenches  which  he  had  held  and  improved  for  the  past  four  years, 
and  which  crossed  the  road,  the  Avocourt- Very  Road,  less  than  a 
kilometer  north  of  Avocourt.  Immediately  following  the  attack, 
Engineer  troops  had  opened  up  a  trail  across  what  had  been  No  Man's 
Land  by  hurriedly  filling  and  bridging  shell  holes,  trenches  and  tank 
trap  pits,  just  sufficient  to  let  the  Artillery  move  up,  and  had  started 
uncovering  the  old  road  which  had  been  covered  up  during  years  of 
disuse.    The  morning  of  the  28th,  when  we  arrived,  a  little  over  48 

1217] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

hours  after  the  attack,  the  roads  into  Avocourt  from  the  south  were 
crowded  with  transport  and  troops.  The  single  road  or  street, 
leading  through  the  destroyed  town,  branched  out  in  four  directions 
at  the  north  edge  of  the  town.  The  road  was  jammed  with  troops 
and  motor  and  horse  drawn  transportation  of  every  description, 
loaded  ammunition  and  supply  trucks  and  wagons,  light  and  heavy 
artillery  pieces,  all  working  their  way  forward,  and  with  empties 
trying  to  get  back  for  much  needed  ammunition  and  supplies. 
Columns  of  troops  and  lines  of  traffic  must  cross  each  other,  neces- 
sitating the  alternate  stopping  of  each,  for  short  periods,  from  time  to 
time.  The  traflSc  jam  in  the  town  was  to  some  extent  distributed  over 
the  four  roads,  but  after  leaving  the  town  the  very  poor  roads,  which 
could  be  traversed  with  great  diflSculty  in  but  one  direction,  were 
constantly  being  blocked  by  an  attempt  at  two-way  traffic,  or  by  a 
truck  or  wagon  becoming  stalled  because  of  the  hard  going.  Avocourt 
was  the  gateway,  a  sort  of  *neck  of  the  bottle,'  for  this  sector. 

"When  the  companies  marched  into  Avocourt  a  little  after  11:00 
o'clock  that  morning  the  men  threw  off  their  packs  and  immediately 
began  improving  the  roads,  to  enable  the  solid  stream  of  traffic  to  keep 
going.  Company  C  was  left  in  Avocourt  to  widen  and  improve  the 
road  by  filling  in  shell  holes  and  removing  the  debris  of  destroyed 
stone  buildings.  It  worked  with  much  difficulty  because  of  the  maze 
of  traffic — in  some  places  three  and  four  lines  abreast.  The  other 
companies  were  put  to  work  on  about  one  and  a  half  kilometers  of 
the  road  to  Very. 

"The  men  worked  night  and  day;  there  was  neither  time  nor 
place  to  rest.  To  make  matters  worse,  a  heavy  rain  set  in  during 
the  afternoon  of  the  first  day,  and  thereafter  the  men  worked  in  a  sea 
of  mud.  From  a  barely  passable  road  where  a  stalled  truck  or  team 
was  helped  along  or  thrown  off  to  the  side  the  moment  traffic  stopped, 
the  road  was  improved  so  that  by  the  night  of  the  second  day  half 
of  the  command  was  able  to  obtain  some  much  needed  rest,  while  the 
other  half  worked.  Details  were  left  at  the  worst  places  to  help 
traffic  across. 

"Hundreds  of  cubic  meters  of  rock  were  dumped  on  the  road. 
This  was  carried  at  first  by  hand  and  in  sacks,  and  later,  by  trucks, 
wagons  and  carts,  from  the  destroyed  buildings  in  Avocourt  and 
from  shell  holes,  trenches  and  quarries,  opened  up  along  the  road. 
Ditches  were  dug,  the  drainage  improved,  the  road  widened  and 
cleared,  so  that  the  sun,  air  and  wind  could  get  at  the  surface  to  dry 
it.  Bridges  across  shell  holes,  trenches  and  tank  trap  pits  were 
straightened  and  strengthened,  by  means  of  timbers  and  rails 
obtained  from  the  nearby  trench  area,  until  the  largest  tractors 
hauling  the  heavy  siege  guns  could  pass  over  them  in  sirfety.  What 
seemed  a  hopeless  task  when  we  started  resulted  in  the  development 
of  a  fairly  heavy  metalled  road,  though  rough,  by  the  time  we  left

on  October  5th.  Traffic  moved  over  this  road  with  regularity.  The 
spirit  with  which  the  men  worked  night  and  day,  when  every  minute 
counted,  was  splendid.  The  sight  of  the  wounded  and  the  prisoners 
coming  back  urged  them  to  increased  efforts,  and  the  plea  of  the 
Artillery  officers  to  get  the  road  fixed  up  so  that  ammunition  and  the 
big  guns  could  go  forward  did  not  go  unheeded.  That  the  splendid 
work  done  here  by  the  Engineers  was  appreciated  was  quite  apparent 
from  the  words  of  praise  from  the  same  artillery  officers  later  on, 
and  from  officers  in  charge  of  supply  and  ammunition  trains  and 
their  drivers.  A  truck  driver,  who  had  been  over  the  road  at  its 
worst  and  who  now  noticed  the  improvement,  inquired  how  it  was 
kept  in  that  condition.  A  wag  at  work  along  the  line  answered,  'by 
sky  hooks.' 

"During  the  first  days  and  nights  there  were  numerous  blockades 
due  to  poor  traffic  regulations,  the  absence  of  turnouts,  and  to  vehicles 
entering  the  sector  from  opposite  directions.  It  was  soon  seen  that 
in  addition  to  building  the  roads  the  Engineers  must  also  direct 
traffic.  Workable,  practical  traffic  regulations  were  put  in  force. 
The  'order  of  the  paddle'  was  instituted.  A  wooden  paddle,  too  large 
to  be  placed  in  a  pocket,  was  made  and  labeled  '91st  Division  Road 
Open  For  Traffic  From  This  End.'  As  long  as  this  paddle  was  in  the 
possession  of  the  traffic  M.  P.  at  Avocourt  he  was  allowed  to  send 
north  bound  traffic  over  the  road  and  when,  for  any  reason,  it  was 
desirable  to  pass  a  south  bound  convoy  the  column  was  cut,  the 
paddle  was  handed  to  a  mounted  messenger,  who  followed  the  last 
vehicle  in  the  north  bound  convoy  through  to  the  corresponding 
block  point  at  the  north  end,  where  the  paddle  was  turned  over  to 
the  M.  P.  at  that  end  and  the  south  bound  convoy  allowed  to  pass. 
The  paddle  would  go  back  again  to  Avocourt  with  the  last  vehicle 
when  the  process  was  reversed. 

"During  the  first  two  days  in  this  sector,  when  the  work  was  the 
heaviest  and  hardest,  the  men  were  on  short  rations,  having  nothing 
but  the  two  days'  reserve  rations  carried  by  each  man  when  he 
embussed  at  Marats-le-Grande.  A  thousand  rations  salvaged  by  the 
Colonel  the  night  of  the  second  day  relieved  the  situation  until  the 
afternoon  of  the  day  when  our  Supply  Officer  got  through  with 
rations — and  we  were  supplied  on  all  occasions  afterwards,  thanks 
to  his  good  work. 

"Owing  to  the  failure  of  the  transportation  and  rolling  kitchens  to 
arrive  until  several  days  after  the  troops,  coffee  was  made  in  two 
salvaged  rolling  kitchens,  and  in  containers  of  every  description, 
picked  up  around  the  area,  and  constituted  about  the  only  thing  in 
the  way  of  hot  food  during  the  first  few  days.  The  transportation 
leaving  Marats-le-Grande  early  the  morning  of  September  8th  made 
satisfactory  progress  until  it  reached  Esnes,  withm  5  kilometers  of 
Avocourt,  where  it  was  not  permitted  to  take  the  road  to  the  west 

[  219  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

into  Avocourt,  reserved  only  for  the  east  bound  traffic,  and  was  sent 
the  long  way  around  by  Malancourt  through  the  traffic  jams  and  over  s 
the  poor  roads.    Finally  after  no  end  of  difficulties,  with  the  men  and 
animals  about  exhausted,  this  transportation  pulled  in  on  the  after- 
noon of  October  2d. 

"On  the  afternoon  of  October  5th  we  received  orders  relieving  us 
from  the  5th  Corps  and  directing  us  to  move  that  night  to  the  vicinity 
of  Cumieres-Marre-Chattancourt  and  to  send  an  officer  to  report  to 
the  Chief  Engineer,  17th  Army  Corps  at  Regret,  under  whose  orders 
we  were  to  operate,  for  assignment  of  stations  and  duties.  This  was 
done  and  at  19 :00  o'clock  on  the  night  of  October  5-6th  we  were  on  the 
march  through  Avocourt  to  our  new  station  in  the  valley  of  the 
Meuse.  Troops  and  transports  were  going  through  Avocourt  that 
night  in  every  direction  and  while  our  regiment  cleared  around  20:00 
o'clock  it  was  five  hours  later  before  the  last  of  our  transportation 
had  moved  three  kilometers.  A  large  part  of  the  conunand  was  sick, 
due  to  the  exceptionally  hard  work  under  extraordinary  weather 
conditions,  and  to  the  exposure  to  which  the  men  had  been  subjected 
while  living  in  shelter  tents  in  the  mud.  The  lack  of  hot  food  had 
also  lowered  their  vitality,  as  a  result  of  which  many  fell  out  on 
account  of  sickness. 

**We  reported  as  directed,  in  time  to  participate  in  the  attack 
of  the  17th  French  Army  Corps,  east  of  the  Meuse.  The  mission  of 
the  Engineer  troops  was  to  keep  open  and  in  repair  certain  essential 
roads. 

"The  Second  Battalion  was  at  the  disposal  of  the  Chief  Engineer 
of  the  Corps  for  work  on  the  Marre-Cumieres-Forges  and  the 
C6te-de-L'0ie-Regneville  Roads  and  the  First  Battalion,  the 
Engineer  train,  and  a  battalion  of  infantry  were  to  be  employed  on 
the  roads  in  the  area  of  the  29th  Division's  advance,  the  most  import- 
ant being  the  Samogneux-Brabant  and  Brabant-Malbrouck- 
C6te  S38-Etraye  Roads.  Until  the  day  of  the  attack  all  other 
companies  worked  on  the  roads  Marre-Cumieres-Forges  and  C6te- 
de-L'Oie-Regneville.  The  roads  along  the  C6te-de-L'0ie  were 
under  direct  observation  and  heavy  shell-fire.  The  first  work  on 
them  was  done,  therefore,  at  night,  the  nights  of  October  6-7th  and 
7-8th,  and  consisted  in  making  temporary  crossings  over  trenches, 
detours  around  shell  holes,  and  other  bad  sections,  clearing  wire, 
with  a  view  to  enabling  the  light  artillery  to  pass  on  the  morning  of 
October  8th.  On  the  night  of  October  7-8th  the  road  was  staked  out 
and  indicated  by  white  tape  so  that  troops  and  artillery  were 
able  to  pass  on  the  morning  of  the  attack. 

"On  the  afternoon  of  October  8th,  Companies  A  and  B  moved 
from  the  tunnel  near  Cumieres  to  Samogneux,  arriving  at  18:00 
o'clock  and  pitching  a  shelter  tent  camp  about  800  meters  north  of 
the  town  just  to  the  east  of  the  Samogneux-Brabant  Road.    Com-

THE  ENGINEERS; 

pany  C  moved  from  Marre  the  following  afternoon  and  also  went  into 
a  shelter  tent  camp  near  A  and  B  Companies,  while  Companies  D 
and  E  moved  on  the  morning  of  the  9th  from  Marre  to  the  tunnel 
vacated  by  A  and  B  Companies.  Regimental  Headquarters,  the 
Engineer  Train,  and  the  First  Battalion's  transportation  left  Bois 
Bourrus  at  1 1 :00  o'clock,  October  8th,  for  Samogneux  via  the  Marre- 
Cumieres-Regneville  Road.  They  were  delayed  at  Marre  for  several 
hours  because  of  traffic  congestion  all  along  the  road,  and  they  were 
Iield  up  again  on  the  C6te-de-L'Oie  for  several  hours  until  the  light 
artillery  batteries,  which  were  firing  directly  over  the  road,  making 
passage  in  front  of  them  impossible,  went  out  of  action.  This  was 
the  first  transportation  across  the  C6te-de-L*0ie  after  the  attack. 
After  a  hard  march,  they  arrived  at  Regneville  at  2:30  on  the 
morning  of  October  9th.  It  was  necessary  for  men  to  walk  in  front 
of  and  even  lead  each  team  for  the  last  three  kilometers  of  the  march. 
In  spite  of  all  precautions  four  wagons  got  off  the  narrow  road  and 
upset  in  shell  holes. 

"The  morning  of  the  9th  found  the  regimental  P.C.  established  in  a 
shelter  at  the  north  edge  of  Samogneux,  where  the  division  had 
'jumped  off'  the  morning  before,  and  the  companies  hard  at  work  on 
road  construction  of  the  same  character  as  that  done  at  Avocourt. 
The  companies  of  the  First  Battalion  were  working  on  the  Samog- 
neux-Brabant  Road,  while  the  Second  Battalion,  under  the  French, 
was  working  on  the  Marre-Cumieres  Regneville  Road.  On  the 
Marre-Forges  Road  the  work  at  first  was  principally  removing  mud 
to  make  the  road  less  slippery,  but  later,  it  was  improved  by  widening 
it.  From  Regneville  to  the  junction  of  this  road  with  the  Cumieres- 
Forges  Road  was  little  more  than  an  earth  track.  In  the  destroyed 
towns  of  Samogneux  and  Brabant  the  work  consisted  largely  of  the 
removal  of  debris  from  the  road  and  making  provision  for  drainage. 
Between  Samogneux  and  Brabant  a  former  Grande  Route  was  found 
to  be  in  fairly  good  condition  except  for  two  large  craters,  a  number 
of  small  shell  holes,  and  the  usual  accumulation  of  dirt  and  mud  as 
the  result  of  the  long  disuse  of  the  road.  The  craters  were  crossed 
partly  by  cribbing  and  filling  and  partly  by  widening  the  road  on 
the  uphill  side;  persistent  pick  and  shovel  work  were  the  require- 
ments here.  The  mud  was  removed  from  the  surface  of  the  road, 
shell  holes  filled  with  good  material,  and  rock  from  Samogneux- 
Brabant  and  local  quarries  used  for  rebuilding  sections  of  road  and 
repairing  ruts  and  chuck  holes  as  they  developed  under  constant 
heavy  traffic.  From  Brabant  to  the  Bois-de-Consenvoye  for  a  con- 
siderable distance,  the  narrow  macadamized  road  had  been  destroyed 
or  obstructed  by  the  trench  system  and  needed  reconstruction  and 
much  work  if  it  were  to  be  kept  open  for  traffic  during  wet  weather. 
The  first  consideration  was  to  open  up  the  roads  for  traffic  and  keep 
them  open  and,  then  as  opportunity  presented  to  improve  and  widen 
them.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

''On  October  10th  Companies  D  and  £  moved  from  the  tunnel  to  a 
camp  about  l}/^  kilometers  from  Regneville,  along  the  road  they  were 
working.  On  the  11th,  Company  D  came  back  to  the  regiment, 
moved  to  Brabant  and  on  the  following  day,  up  into  the  Bois-de- 
Consenvoye.  By  October  ISth,  the  Samogneux-Brabant  Road  was 
in  very  good  condition  and  it  was  evident  that,  on  the  section 
assigned  to  the  regiment,  the  maximum  work  must  be  put  in  on  the 
Brabant-Cote  Sd8-Bois-de-Consenvoye  Road.  Accordingly,  Com- 
pany A  moved  to  Brabant,  the  Regimental  P.  C,  Headquarters 
Detachment  and  Company  C  moved  the  following  day  to  the  trench 
area  about  400  meters  east  of  Brabant.  The  move  of  Company  F 
on  October  15th  from  Marre  to  a  site  near  the  camp  of  Company  D 
and  the  establishment  of  the  Regimental  P.  C.  in  a  shelter,  in  the 
trenches  on  Malbrouck  Hill,  on  the  16th,  completed  the  general 
shifting  about  of  units  at  this  time  so  as  to  locate  them  to  the  best 
advantage  with  respect  to  the  work  they  were  doing. 

"Company  A  was  working  in  and  near  Brabant,  Company  B  had 
most  of  the  Samogneux-Brabant  Road,  while  Companies  C  and  D 
were  practically  rebuilding  the  Brabant-Cote  388  Road;  in  places 
constructing  a  heavy  Telford  base  and  surfacing  with  stone,  from 
Brabant  and  the  quarries  opened  up  near  by.  Companies  £  and  F, 
working  directly  under  the  French,  were  on  the  Cumieres-Regne- 
ville  road. 

"On  October  18th,  the  17th  Anny  Corps  ordered  that  work  on 
the  Cumieres-Cote-de-L'Oie  Road  be  pushed  so  it  could  be  used  by 
the  S9th  Division  truck  trains,  and  thus  relieve  the  congestion  on 
the  Vacherauville-Samogneux  Road  where  traflSc  was  already  too 
heavy.  On  October  21st  the  road  from  the  Cote-de-L'Oie  to 
Samogneux  was  turned  over  by  the  French  to  the  29th  Division  for 
maintenance.  At  the  same  time.  Companies  £  and  F  were  returned 
to  the  regiment,  now  intact  again,  and  the  mission  of  improving  and 
maintaining  this  road,  was  assigned  the  Second  BattaUon,  leaving  the 
companies  of  the  First  Battalion  on  their  present  assignments. 

"Company  D  moved  the  afternoon  of  October  21st  from  Bois-de- 
Coiisenvoye  to  the  trench  area  near  Company  C,  at  Brabant,  and, 
on  the  24th,  to  Regneville  to  assist  with  the  work  assigned  to  the 
Second  Battalion.  On  October  25th,  the  regimental  P.  C.  and  Head- 
quarters Detachment  moved  to  shelters  along  the  railroad  embank- 
ment about  500  meters  north  of  Regneville  making  the  last  shift  in 
stations  for  the  units  of  the  regiment  while  we  were  in  this  section. 

"During  its  stay  of  25  days  in  October  in  the  Meuse-Argonne 
sector  along  both  sides  of  the  Meuse,  the  regiment's  work  on  over 
20  kilometers  of  road  had  varied  all  the  way  from  scraping  mud  and 
opening  up  drainage  to  entirely  new  construction  on  numerous 
sections.    A  stone  arch  bridge  of  18'  span,  just  north  of  Samogneux, 

[  222  ] 


THE  SIGNAL  CORPS 

was  practically  destroyed  on  October  18th  by  a  direct  hit  of  a  big 
shell.  This  bridge  was  replaced  by  a  timber  structure,  built  in  quick 
order  by  details  from  B  and  D  Compknies,  without  delaying  traffic 
except  to  the  extent  of  making  this  two  way  road  a  one  way  road  for 
two  days. 

"From  time  to  time  throughout  the  operation  the  regiment  was 
called  upon  for  reconnaissances  and  reports  regarding  road  condi- 
tions, and  the  location,  character,  and  capacity  of  all  shelters  in  the 
sector.  One  detachment  was  called  upon  by  the  Infantry  to  remove 
German  traps.  It  removed  obstacles  from  roads  in  the  Bois-de- 
Consenvoye,  and  also  made  repairs  to  the  60  cm.  railroads  there. 

"On  two  occasions  the  regiment  was  held  as  Division  Reserve. 
At  18:40  o'clock  the  night  of  October  24th  orders  were  received  from 
Division  Headquarters  that  the  regiment  was  to  be  held  in  readiness 
for  immediate  use  during  the  night.  Officers  and  runners  were  sent 
to  the  Brigade  P.  C.'s,  the  ammunition  carried  for  the  regiment  by  the 
train  for  such  emergencies,  was  sent  from  Samogneux  to  Brabant, 
and  the  regiment  waited  that  night  expecting  to  be  called  out. 
During  the  last  few  days  in  the  sector  platoons  from  Companies  A 
and  B  assisted  the  Infantry  Brigades  in  organizing  their  front  line 
positions,  upon  which  work  they  were  engaged  when  the  divisino 
was  relieved." 

To  the  infantryman  who  had  not  come  before  into  actual 
contact  with  the  work  of  the  Engineers  the  character  of  the 
work  they  were  called  upon  to  do,  and  the  diflSculty  mider  which 
it  had  to  be  done  was  a  revelation.  The  manner  in  which  the 
engineer  troops  worked  calmly  and  efficiently,  hour  after  hdur, 
day  after  day,  under  shell  fire,  to  keep  the  roads  open,  won  for 
them  the  unqualified  praise  of  the  doughboy. 

The  lOIiik  Field  Signal  Battalion 

The  work  of  the  104th  Field  Signal  Battalion  in  the  Meuse- 
Argonne  battle  stood  out  conspicuously  for  the  intelligent,  effi- 
cient and  courageous  manner  in  which  officers  and  men  alike,  of 
all  ranks  and  grades,  performed  their  allotted  tasks.  The  first 
task  assigned  to  it  was  the  laying  of  the  divisional  axis^  of  com- 

'  The  axis  of  liaison  or  communication  is  the  main  telephone  circuits,  on  to  which  the  radiat- 
ing lines  to  the  various  P.C.'s  are  connected.  As  soon  as  the  attacking  lines  reached 
their  objectives,  Uie  battalion  details  started  their  lines  to  the  regimental  P.C.,  and 
by  the  time  the  regimental  commander  arrived  at  the  new  P.C.,  the  lines  were  con- 
nected forward  with  the  battalions  and  back  with  the  artillery  brigade. 

The  plan  of  communication  was  prepared  by  Major  Charles  B.  Hazeltine  of  the 
Regular  Army»  Division  Signal  Officer,  who  during  the  course  of  the  engagement  was 
otdeted  to  return  to  the  United  States,  to  be  promoted  upon  arrival  to  the  grade  of

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

munication  up  to  the  infantry  parallels  of  departure  at  Samog- 
neux.  This  was  done  by  Company  B,  under  the  command  of 
Captain  Van  Wagenon  Pingry,  while  the  P.  C.  of  the  division 
was  located  in  the  Citadel  of  Verdun.  The  axis  left  the  new  P.  C. 
of  the  division  at  Vacherauville  in  a  westerly  direction,  following 
the  bank  of  the  canal,  thence  ran  in  a  northerly  direction  over  the 
C6te  de  Talou  and  the  C6te  des  Roches,  and  thence  through  the 
French  communicating  trenches.  The  68th  Brigade  P.  C.  was 
connected  to  this  axis,  and  the  regimental  sections  were  in  a 
position  to  run  the  lines  to  the  P.  C.'s  of  the  assaulting  battalions, 
after  they  had  taken  up  the  advance.  Company  B*s  detail  went 
forward  with  the  fighting  troops  and  laid  out  the  telephone  lines^ 
as  rapidly  as  necessary. 

Captain  Armstrong  was  put  on  special  duty  to  act  as  Signal 
Ofl5cer  for  the  67th  Brigade,  and  Lieutenant  Updike  for  the 
58th.  Both  of  these  oflBcers  rendered  conspicuous  service*  Cap- 
tain Armstrong  was  commended  by  the  commander  of  the  57th 
Brigade,  General  Upton,  and  was  also  awarded  the  Croix  de 
Guerre  for  his  disregard  of  personal  danger  and  for  his  unselfish, 
devotion  to  his  work  under  most  trying  conditions. 

Lieutenant  Andrew  Carrico,  Jr.,  in  charge  of  the  axis  head 
detail,  performed,  in  a  highly  skilful  manner,  the  most  hazardous 
work  of  extending  the  line  in  advance  of  the  regiments.  One  line 
between  a  battalion  and  a  regimental  P.  C.  was  shot  out  by 
enemy  artillery  fire  more  than  seventy  times  in  an  hour,  yet  such 
was  the  spirit  of  the  organization  that  men  competed  to  be  assigned 
to  duty  on  the  advanced  detail.  At  times,  one  shell  would  blow  out 
twenty-five  or  thirty  feet  of  line,  throwing  the  loose  ends  so  far  apart 
that  they  could  be  found  only  with  the  greatest  difficulty,  particu- 

lieutenant-colonel,  and  to  be  assigned  to  duty  with  a  new  division.  Major  Haseltine 
made  every  effort  to  have  the  orders  revoked  and  to  be  allowed  to  continue  his  services 
with  the  cQvision,  but  to  no  avail.  Accordingly,  on  the  2Srd  of  October,  1018  (S.O. 
270,  par.  2),  he  was  relieved  from  duty  with  the  division. 

Major  Hazel  tine  had  served  as  commander  of  the  104  th  Field  Signal  Battalion 
before  being  appointed  Division  Signal  Officer.  His  regret  at  being  forced  to  leave 
the  division  before  even  earning  the  right  to  wear  the  six  months*  overseas  service 
chevron  was  keen,  but  the  quality  of  his  service  was  evidenced  by  the  respect  and 
affection  which  was  entertained  for  him  by  the  officers  and  men  of  the  Signal  Battalion. 

Major  Heidt  performed  the  duties  of  Division  Signal  Officer  unUlthe  arrival  of 
Major  John  A.  Kick  (S.O.  270,  par.  8,  23  Oct.  18),  who  was  transferred  from 
the  command  of  the  Telegraph  Battalion,  1st  Army,  to  the  29th  Division,  as  Divisional 
Signal  Officer. 
^Telephone  communication  all  the  way  from  division  to  battalion  P.C.'s  was  practically 
uninterrupted  during  the  entire  engagement.  Regimental  telephone  communica-

THE  SIGNAL  CORPS 

larly  if  the  break  occurred  at  night.  Then,  too,  the  Signal  Corps 
men  had  another,  though  different,  difficulty  to  contend  with: 
Whenever  opportunity  presented  itself,  the  infantrymen  would 
hang  out  their  wet  blankets  and  clothing  to  dry  Naturally  the 
telephone  wire  proved  a  ready  and  most  acceptable  clothes-line. 
The  weight  of  the  wet  blankets  would  cause  the  line  to  sag  and 
finally  to  break,  thus  cutting  off  communications  and  causing 
more  work  for  the  Signal  Corps  men. 

Company  A,  under  Lieutenant  Tompkins,  established  a  radio 
net,  which  was  available  for  use  throughout  the  action.  This  was 
not  much  used,  however,  because  of  the  necessity  for  encoding 
and  decoding  the  messages.  But  it  had  its  other  uses.  The 
correct  time  was  received  by  it  daily  from  the  Eiffel  Tower  Station 
in  Paris.  Then,  too,  the  daily  news  from  the  outside  world  was 
taken  by  wireless,  and  sent  to  the  advanced  stations  where  it 
was  eagerly  received.  At  times  the  news  was  sufficiently  good  not 
only  to  cheer  our  men,  but  to  depress  the  enemy  proportionately, 
notably  when  Italy's  successes  against  Austria  and  the  collapse 
of  Turkey  and  Austria-Hungary  were  reported.  Such  news  would 
be  sent  "in  clear"  so  that  the  German  troops  would  get  it.  It 
was  shortly  after  sending  forward  such  news  that  the  58th 
Infantry  Brigade  Headquarters  was  subjected  to  a  terrific  bom- 
bardment which  completely  demolished  the  radio  station^  and 
killed  acting  2nd  Lieutenant  W  .0.  Titus,  Sergeant  John  Briggs 
and  Private  Werner.  It  was  for  his  conduct  at  this  time  that 
Private  1st  class  James  W.  Dorsey,  Jr.,*  of  Company  B,  was 
awarded  the  D.S.C. 

Company  B  also  had  charge  of  operating  the  panels  which 
consisted  of  strips  and  squares  of  white  and  black  cloth.  These 
were  displayed  on  the  ground  in  certain  specified  ways  to  acquaint 
friendly  aeroplanes  of  the  location  of  command  posts,  and  were 
displayed  when  our  aviators  by  a  proper  prearranged  rocket  signal 
so  requested.     On  one  occasion,  during  the  battle,  a  German 

'  The  radio  stations  at  the  Regimental  P.C.'s  were  utilised  in  sending  through  to  the 
artillery  wireless  stations  quick  calls  for  barrages.  On  one  occasion,  the  desired 
protective  barrage  was  placed  forty-seven  seconds  after  the  signal  was  sent  by 
wifeless.

aviator  in  a  plane  with  allied  markings  crossed  over  the  Division 
P.C.  and  gave  the  correct  rocket  signal  for  displaying  the  panels. 
As  a  result  there  was  an  immediate  heavy  shelling  of  the  Division 
P.C.  There  were  many  rumors  of  Germans  operating  French 
planes,  but  slight  faith  was  put  in  such  reports.  In  this  case» 
however,  the  rumor  proved  to  be  a  fact,  and  was  verified^  by  the 
Assistant  Chief  of  Staff,  G-2.  He  communicated  with  all  of  the 
aero  units  in  our  sector  and  those  adjoining,  and  found  that  none 
of  them  had  sent  up  a  plane  on  that  day. 

To  show  the  magnitude  of  the  task  performed  by  the  Signal 
Corps  personnel,  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  100  miles  of  twisted 
pair  field  wire  was  used  during  our  participation  in  the  Meuse- 
Argonne  Battle.  The  manner  in  which  the  Signal  Corps  men 
worked  in  full  sight  of  the  enemy  gained  for  them  the  unending 
respect  of  the  doughboy. 

The  lO^ih  Ammunition  Train. 

Upon  arrival  in  France  the  Ammunition  Train,  with  the 
exception  of  Companies  A  and  C,  was  sent  with  the  artillery  to 
Meucon  and  did  not  rejoin  the  division  until  after  the  armistice. 
Companies  A  and  C  were  detached  from  the  organization  at 
Cherbourg,  at  which  place  the  Train  had  landed,  and  were  sent 
to  Genicourt,  near  Bordeaux.  General  Pershing  happened  to 
arrive  the  same  day  to  inspect  the  camp.  Thus  quite  accidentally, 
it  had  come  about  that  the  7  officers  and  292  men  composing 
the  two  companies,  commanded  by  Captain  Thomas  F.  Flynn, 
were  the  first  units  of  the  29th  Division  to  be  reviewed  by  the 
Commander-in-Chief  of  the  American  Expeditionary  Forces.  This 
detachment  joined  the  division  in  Alsace  on  August  4th,  partici- 
pated in  the  Meuse-Argonne  Battle  and  rendered  most  excellent 
service.  From  October  6th  the  detachment  was  under  fire  con- 
stantly and  worked  day  and  night  to  maintain  the  supply  of 
ammunition  for  the  combat  troops.  On  October  14th  the  detach- 
ment was  attached  to  the  308th  Ammunition  Train,  under  the 
command  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  O.  R.  Cole,  and  operated  under 
his  orders  during  the  remainder  of  the  battle.  During  those  days 
thirty-three*  trucks  were  operated  by  Company  A,  under  the 

'Colonel  Kelley,  who  commanded  the  116th  Infantry,  reported  that  the  same  plane 
came  over  his  P.C.  and  gave  the  signal  for  the  display  of  panels.  They  were  dis- 
played and  an  immediate  artillery  concentration  followed.

company.

THE  MOTOR  SUPPLY  TRAIN 

command  of  1st  Lieutenant  L.  Carl  Ward,  and  thirty-two  by 
Company  C,  under  the  command  of  Captain  Flynn.  The  officers 
and  men  of  the  Train  showed  the  finest  sort  of  spirit.  Men  drove 
regardless  of  hours,  while  the  kitchen  forces  worked  in  relays  in 
order  to  take  care  of  the  physical  needs  of  the  tired  and  hungry 
drivers. 

The  104th  Motor  Supply  Train. 

Never  in  any  previous  war  has  there  been  such  a  keen  apprecia- 
tion of  the  efforts  and  importance  of  the  supply  units,  particularly 
those  functioning  with  the  fighting  troops.  Lacking  the  urge 
which  comes  to  the  man  in  the  front  line  who  engages  his  enemy 
in  a  hand  to  hand  contest,  the  men  of  the  Supply  Train  did  their 
work,  almost  constantly  under  shell  fire,  because  they  wanted 
their  team  to  win.  Day  after  day  and  night  after  night  they  drove 
themselves  to  renewed  efforts  in  order  that  their  comrades  farther 
toward  the  front  might  not  have  to  go  without  food.  That,  at 
times,  especially  in  the  early  days  of  the  fighting,  the  men  in  the 
front  lines  were  forced  to  do  without  food  and  supplies  for  long 
hours,  was  due  to  the  physical  impossibility  of  getting  into  com- 
munication with  them,  and  never  to  the  fact  that  every  human 
effort  was  not  made.  The  co-ordination  of  the  work  of  supplying 
the  troops  of  the  division  with  ammunition,  food  and  other 
necessary  things  was  the  function  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  John  C. 
French,  General  Staff,  of  the  Regular  Army,  Assistant  Chief  of 
Staff,  G-1.  The  details  of  the  work  of  the  Quartermaster's 
Department  came  under  the  general  direction  of  the  Division 
Quartermaster,  Lieutenant-Colonel  Walter  V.  Shipley,  formerly 
of  the  Maryland  National  Guard.  The  Supply  Train  proper  was 
under  the  immediate  command  of  Major  R.  Baldwin  Myers, 
formerly  of  the  Virginia  National  Guard.  The  pride  which  the 
officers  and  men  of  the  supply  departments  took  in  the  manner 
of  the  performance  of  their  important  duties  during  the  division's 
stay  in  battle  is  well  justified.  The  mere  mention  of  the  other 
units — ^Mobile  Ordnance  Repair  Shop  No.  116,  Motor  Shop 
Truck  Unit  No.  806,  Sales  Commissary  Unit  No.  2,  Salvage  Unit 
No.  316,  Clothing  Unit  No.  1  and  Graves  Registration  Service 
Unit  No.  804 — which  functioned  with  the  Supply  Department 
indicates  the  variety  of  the  services  furnished.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY  NINTH  DIVISION 

The  lOJith  Military  Police  and  29th  Military  Police  Company. 

It  is  a  cause  for  regret  that  the  story  of  the  ^^M.P.s"  of  the 
29th  Division  cannot  be  made  the  subject  of  a  separate  chapter. 
Their  contribution  to  the  division's  success  in  battle  was  not  only 
made  on  the  field  of  battle  itself,  but  also  was  begun  when  the 
104th  Military  Police  Battalion  was  organized.  From  the  very 
first,  their  high  sense  of  duty,  their  intelligence  and  their  military 
bearing  and  deportment  had  given  them  a  standing  and  prestige 
with  the  division  conunander  and  the  officers  and  men  of  the 
division  which  they  never  forfeited.  On  the  march  to  the  front, 
they  had  policed  the  line  of  march,  arrested  stragglers  and  acted 
as  guides.  Arriving  in  the  Verdun  sector  they  went  forward  with 
the  58th  Brigade  on  the  morning  of  October  8th.  2nd  Lieutenant 
William  E.  M cBratney  had  established  advanced  Military  Police 
Headquarters  at  Samogneux.  From  this  place  they  policed  the 
roads,  guarded  prisoners  of  war,  conducting  them  to  the  rear,  and 
prevented  straggling.^ 

To  see  a  smart-looking,  intelligent,  alert  soldier,  neat  and  of 
^'snappy"  appearance  even  in  the  mud  and  grime  of  the  battle 
period,  with  the  red  brassard  and  the  letters  M.P.  on  his  arm  and 
the  Blue  and  Gray  insignia  on  his  shoulder,  was  to  catch  the 
spirit  of  the  Military  Police*  of  the  29th  Division. 

'  The  fottowing  posta  maintained  by  the  Military  Police,  commanded  by  Major  J.  A.  K. 
Marshall,  formeriy  of  the  New  Jersey  National  Guard,  from  October  8th  to  the  29th, 
will  give  an  idea  of  the  duties  which  they  were  called  upon  to  perform: 

At  Samogneux,  two  fixed  traffic  poets,  mounted  patrols,  on  road  from  Samogneux 
to  Brabant,  on  road  south  of  Samogneux,  from  Samomeux  throu^  "Death  Valley*' 
(Haumont),  and  <m  road  and  bridge,  Samogneux  to  Regneville,  a  Prisoner  of  War 
coUecting  post. 

At  Death's  Valley  (Haumont) — ^A  fixed  traffic  and  straggler's  post. 

At  Brabant — ^A  fixed  traffic  post  on  cross  roads  north  of  Samogneux  to  points 
ahead  of  and  around  Regimental  P.C's.  Two  straggler  patrols  (^>erating  from  Samog- 
neux daily,  and  covering  territory  in  29th  Division  Sector. 

At  RegneviHe,  a  fixed  post. 

At  Cumieres,  a  fixed  post,  and  mounted  patrol,  on  road  Cumieres-Regneville. 

At  Marre,  two  fixed  posts  and  mounted  patrols,  one  to  Cumieres,  one  to  Chamy. 

At  Chamy,  two  fixed  posts,  and  a  bridge  guard  on  bridge  between  Charny  and 
Bras. 

At  Vaudierauville,  two  fixed  posts,  and  a  patrol  from  Vaudierauville  to  Bras. 
And  at  the  Road  Foric  above  Vaudierauville  one  fixed  post. 

*  During  this  period  wders  come  directing  the  re-organisation  of  the  Solitary  Police  of 
the  division.  One  company,  the  29th  Military  Police  Company,  was  formed  from 
the  104th  l£litary  Police  Battalion.  Captain  Langdon  Moore  was  placed  in  mco- 
mand  of  the  Company.     G.  O.  58,  29  Oct.  81.

HEADQUARTERS  TROOP  AND  VETERINARY  SECTION 

The  Headquarters  Troop. 

The  story  of  the  division  is  peculiarly  the  story  of  the  Head- 
uarters  Troop,  and  vice  versa.  In  daily  contact  with  the  com- 
manding general  and  all  of  the  department  heads,  it  was  always 
'enjoying  inspection."  Upon  arrival  in  France,  it  was  called 
upon  to  move,  to  maintain  and  instal  the  headquarters  of  the 
division,  to  keep  in  repair  all  automobiles,  side  cars,  and  other 
forms  of  transportation  used  by  the  division  staff,  to  maintain  a 
division  message  center,  to  deliver  messages  and  orders  under  all 
circumstances,  to  supply  orderlies  and  drivers  for  the  various 
officers  of  the  division  staff,  to  subsist  officers  and  men  attached 
to  division  headquarters,  and  to  run  the  general's  mess.^  All 
those  things  and  more  were  done  by  the  Troop  under  the  com- 
mand of  Captain  Lewis  B.  Ballantyne,  formerly  of  the  New 
Jersey  National  Guard,  during  the  days  of  actual  battle. 

No  duty  was  too  arduous  or  too  complicated  for  them  to 
perform;  nor  were  their  duties  such  as  to  enable  the  individual  to 
win  especial  mention  or  honors.  No  record  of  the  services  of 
the  Troop,  however  brief,  would  be  complete  without  mention  of 
one  name  at  least,  that  of  Sergeant  Walter  F.  Herold,  one  time 
designer  of  gas  engines,  who  found  no  trouble  in  so  uniting  a 
broken  Dodge  and  a  National  car  as  to  combine  the  virtues  and 
appearance  of  both,  with  the  faults  of  neither. 

Mobile  Veterinary  Section  107. 

Reference  should  be  made  to  the  excellent  and  intelligent  work 
done  by  the  Division  Veterinarian,  Captain  Joseph  E.  Hodge,  and 
the  107th  Mobile  Veterinary  Section,  under  command  of  1st 

'An  amusmg  incident  occurred  during  the  course  of  the  battle,  when  the  enterprising 
mess  sergeant  in  charge  of  the  general's  mess  at  the  Advanced  Post  of  Command, 
havinff  to  go  to  Bar-le-Duc  for  another  purpose,  secured  some  lemon  pie  which  he 
served  for  lunch.  After  a  diet  of  "Corned  Willie"  it  may  be  imagined  what  a  hit  this 
made.  Just  as  it  was  served,  however,  everyone  began  coughing  and  sneesing,  and 
"cussing"  the  cooks  for  putting  pepper  on  the  onlv  decent  thing  we  nad  bad  to  eat  since 
the  drive  started!  Then  an  oraerly  rushed  in  and  said  the  whole  valley  was  fiUed  with 
gas.  General  Morton  ordered  all  present  to  put  on  masks.  But  to  ms  surprise,  and, 
later,  to  our  great  amusement,  it  was  found  he  had  forgotten  to  bring  his  with  him 
when  he  came  from  his  dugout  to  the  elephant  shelter  in  which  we  had  our  meids. 
An  extra  mask  was  soon  found  but  it  seemed  unable  to  grasp  the  "old  man's"  nose. 
Finallv,  becoming  disgusted,  he  threw  the  mask  down  and  said  he  would  not  "fool 
with  the  damn  thing  any  more,"  and  that  if  his  time  had  come  he  would  "have  to  go, 
that's  all."  Inasmuch  as  the  general  had  considered  leaving  off  the  mask,  even  when 
thirty  miles  from  Uie  enemy's  unes,  an  unpardonable  sin,  the  officers  of  his  staff,  when 
they  found  no  serious  consequences  had  resulted,  were  greatly  amused.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

Lieutenant^  Patrick  H.  Hudgins.  The  problem  of  supplying  the 
combat  units  with  sufficient  horses,  especially  in  the  latter  stages 
of  the  war,  was  a  serious  and  ever-increasing  one.  The  skill  of  the 
veterinary  section  in  returning  to  duty  the  sick  and  wounded 
animals  was  a  direct  and  important  contribution  to  the  success  of 
our  operations. 

From  July  26th  to  September  22nd,  1918,  the  107th  Veterinary 
Section  handled  1025  animals,  and  in  the  Meuse-Argonne  the 
Section  treated  3010  animals  from  six  combat  divisions.  After 
the  Armistice  the  care  and  attention  given  the  animals  of  the 
division  not  only  brought  commendation  from  the  inspectors, 
sent  from  higher  headquarters,  but  also  enabled  the  division  to 
capture  several  blue  ribbons  at  the  Corps  and  Army  Horse  Shows. 

To  the  men  of  these  and  of  other  units  unmentioned,  full 
credit  must  be  given  for  their  contribution — ^always,  the  very  best 
that  was  in  them — ^to  the  accomplishments  of  the  division  in  its 
supreme  test.

SOME  REMARKS  ABOUT  OUR  LATE  OPPONENTS — WE  MOVE  TO  A  REST  AREA- 

*COOTIES" — ^WE  ARE  ATTACHED  T( 
ARMY   FOR  ITS  ATTACK  ON  METZ. 


CLEANING   UP — "COOTIES" — ^WE  ARE  ATTACHED  TO  THE  SECOND 


The  words  of  praise  showered  upon  the  division  by  higher 
commanders  for  the  part  it  played  in  this  oflfensive  were,  naturally, 
received  with  a  proper  sense  of  gratification  and  appreciation. 
But  the  real  test  of  the  value  of  the  division's  services  is  found 
from  a  study  of  the  nature  of  the  ground  over  which  it  operated, 
and  the  character  and  fighting  qualities  of  the  opposing  enemy 
forces.  The  former  has  been  described  in  considerable  detail  in 
previous  chapters.    The  latter  deserve  more  detailed  attention. 

The  Austro-Hungarians  were  defeated  almost  before  the  action 
started  and  their  morale  was  extremely  low;  on  the  other  hand, 
the  morale  of  the  Prussians  was  high,  extraordinarily  high,  at  all 
times.  The  Saxons,  when  fresh,  were  likewise  of  high  morale,  but 
in  the  face  of  adverse  circumstances  went  to  pieces  quite  rapidly. 

Austria-Himgary  had  collapsed — and  the  German  troops  knew 
it.  Turkey  was  in  a  state  of  collapse — ^and  the  Germans  knew  it. 
Germany  herself  had  offered  peace  on  the  basis  of  the  acceptance 
of  President  Wilson's  "Fourteen  Points" — this,  too,  the  German 
troops  knew.  Furthermore,  they  were  made  to  believe  the  Allies 
would  accept  the  terms  offered,  though  during  the  course  of  these 
operations  it  must  have  become  evident  that  the  Allies  would 
accept  nothing  short  of  the  equivalent  of  unconditional  surrender. 
Yet  they  never  diminished  their  efforts  for  one  moment,  nor  failed 
to  fight  to  the  very  limit. 

The  writer  does  not  believe  that  history  records  any  circum- 
stance, or  set  of  circumstances,  so  calculated  to  break  the  morale 
of  troops;  yet,  with  the  exception  of  the  Austro-Hungarians  and 
of  those  units  which  were  left  in  line  week  after  week  until  their 
organizations  had  become  completely  shattered,  the  morale  of  the 
German  troops  opposing  us  was  remarkably  high.  Of  course,  the 
German  High  Command  knew  that  the  Meuse  sector  was  the 
hinge  upon  which  must  swing  the  gate  of  their  retirement,  and 
orders  were  to  hold  it  at  all  costs;  yet,  despite  all  of  the  demoraliz- 
ing influences,  the  skill,  the  tenacity  and  the  courage  displayed 

1231  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTYNINTH  DIVISION 

by  the  enemy  and  the  high  morale  shown  by  his  troops  were  noth- 
ing short  of  remarkable. 

As  the  enemy's  reserves  in  men  dwindled,  he  had  to  make  up 
this  loss  of  power  by  a  proportionate  increase  in  the  effectiveness 
of  his  machine  guns  and  artillery.  In  this  he  was  assisted  greatly 
by  the  nature  of  the  ground — wooded,  hilly  ravines — ^and  by  the 
splendid  successive  positions,  which  during  the  several  years  of 
comparative  inactivity  on  this  front,  he  had  been  able  to  prepare. 
Besides,  his  faultless  observation  posts  on  top  of  the  high  hills 
gave  him  practically  an  unobstructed  view  of  the  movements  in 
our  line,  while  for  our  part  we  were  forced  to  depend  almost 
entirely  upon  information  extracted  from  prisoners,  for  knowledge 
of  his  activities. 

A  notable  feature  of  the  enemy's  activities  was  the  aggressive 
and  continuous  employment  of  his  aeroplanes,  not  only  to  regulate 
and  direct  the  fire  of  his  artillery  and  machine  guns,  but  also  to 
attack  our  infantry  organizations.  Nor  did  considerations  of 
weather  or  the  possibility  of  allied  opposition  prevent  him  from 
making  full  use  of  his  planes,  at  times  with  disastrous  results  to  us. 

His  infantry  companies  came  to  be  practically  machine  gun 
units.  Toward  the  last  they  were  actually  divided  into  squads, 
with  relation  to  the  number  of  machine  guns  available.  His  use 
of  this  weapon  was  masterly,  while  the  employment  of  his  artillery 
always  was  skilful  and  effective.  Whatever  may  be  said  against 
the  German  as  a  man, — ^and  we  frankly  confess  the  insufficiency 
of  our  vocabulary  in  that  connection — ^as  a  military  opponent  we 
must  give  him  credit  for  discipline,  skill  and  courage  of  a  high 
order.  At  least,  this  was  a  fair  deduction  from  the  conduct  in 
battle  of  those  units  which  the  39th  Division  faced  and  fought  on 
the  heights  of  the  Meuse. 

Throughout  the  course  of  the  three  weeks  of  fighting,  the 
negotiations  between  President  Wilson  and  the  Central  Powers 
were  being  conducted.  At  times  ^^notes"  and  bullets  were  fired 
simultaneously.  Curiously  enough,  first  information  as  to  the  prog- 
ress of  these  negotiations  always  came  from  captured  German  wire- 
less messages,  or  from  prisoners.  Rumors  flew  from  one  end  of  the 
battle  field  to  another  that  '"fighting  will  cease  all  along  the  front 
at  midnight  to-night,"  or  "Germany  will  accept  the  Fourteen 
Points  to-morrow."  These  rumors,  started  by  the  prisoners,  were 
referred  to  division  headquarters  for  verification,  and  always  met

with  a  prompt  denial.  It  is  remarkable  that  the  rumors  about 
peace  did  not  have  a  more  demoralizing  effect  upon  our  men  who 
had  fought  until  their  organizations  were  but  skeletons,  and  they, 
themselves,  nerve  worn,  gassed,  and  physically  exhausted.  Then, 
too,  the  rumor  that  our  higher  headquarters  had  forgotten  that 
we  were  in  the  line,  or  had  left  it  to  the  French  to  effect  our  relief, 
and  that  the  French  were  waiting  for  the  American  authorities 
to  have  us  rdieved,  had  wide  circulation.  First,  we  heard  that 
the  26th  American  Division  would  relieve  us  after  the  first  week 
of  fighting.  Instead,  it  relieved  the  French  division  on  our  right. 
Then  we  heard  that  a  French  Colonial  division  would  relieve  us — 
but,  it  relieved  the  SSrd  Division  on  our  left.  When  the  third 
week  was  far  advanced  and  still  no  orders  were  received,  the  feel- 
ing that  we  had  been  forgotten  was  strong  even  in  the  minds  of 
some  of  the  division  staff  oflScers,  who  mildly  suggested  to  General 
Morton  that  we  make  inquiries  that  might  let  them  know  how  long 
we  had  been  in  line.  This  suggestion  the  general  firmly  vetoed, 
refusing  always  to  make  suggestions  to  his  superior  officers. 

We  Move  to  a  Rest  Area — Cleaning  Up  and  Cooties. 

As  already  stated,  the  division  was  withdrawn  from  the  line 
on  the  nights  of  October  29-30th  and  30-Slst  to  the  vicinity  of 
Verdun,  with  division  headquarters  at  Marguerite  College, 
Verdim,  on  and  after  8  o'clock,  October  30th.  The  division,  less 
Artillery  and  Ammunition  Train,  then  passed  into  Army  Reserves 
being  attached  to  the  5th  American  Army  Corps.  Prom  the 
vicinity  of  Verdun  it  moved  by  successive  stages  to  the  rest  area 
of  Robert  Espagne,  with  division  headquarters  in  that  village. 
Here  was  imdertaken  feverishly  the  work  of  securing  and  issuing 
new  equipment  and  new  clothing  for  the  men  in  place  of  that  lost 
or  destroyed  in  battle,  and  the  work  of  reorganizing  the  depleted 
organizations  and  whipping  them  into  shape  for  the  next  advance 
in  which  we  would  be  called  upon  to  participate.  First  of  all,  the 
men  had  to  be  allowed  a  few  days*  rest  to  catch  up  on  sleep  and 
to  restore  exhausted  nerves.  Then,  efforts  were  made  to  give 
every  man  a  bath,  a  real  "cooty"  exterminating  bath.  But 
facilities  were  naturally  insufficient.  However  optimistic  the 
official  reports  may  sound — ^and  we  grant  their  intended  honesty  and 
accuracy — ^we  believe  the  "bathers"  themselves  should  be  heard  :

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY^NINTH  DIVISION 

"In  the  afternoon,*  we  had  our  first  'bath'  in  many  moons.  The 
bath  was  located  alongside  the  canal,  in  a  tent.  The  water  was 
pumped  through  a  pipe  to  a  *boiler' — this  *boiler*  being  about  the 
size  of  a  large  tomato  can — where  it  was  supposed  to  have  been 
heated.  As  the  whole  Battalion  was  compelled  to  bathe  in  one  after- 
noon, and  as  the  can  was  probably  filled  but  once,  and  never  had  an 
opportunity  to  show  whether  or  not  it  could  heat  at  least  a  cupful, 
our  bodies  were  not  so  greatly  benefited.  It  was  not  a  temptation 
to  bathe,  as  the  weather  was  extremely  cold  and  the  wind  blew 
through  the  flaps  of  the  tent,  and  wc  had  to  undress  and  dress  in 
the  open. 

"It  was  intended  that  this  silly  attempt  at  bathing  would  result  in 
the  destruction  of  all  cooties  that  might  be  present  and  accounted 
for.  They  might  have  shivered  slightly  in  the  breezes,  but  otherwise, 
they  suffered  not  more  than  we  did  ourselves. 

"New  underwear  was  issued  to  insure  us  being  free  of  vermin,  but 
someone  evidently  overlooked  the  fact  that  'coots'  do  not  care 
whether  they  reside  in  underclothes  or  in  the  various  other  apparel. 
Word  of  the  proposed  bath  was  evidently  furnished  them,  as  they 
scattered  among  the  folds  of  the  remainder  of  our  clothes,  until  we 
donned  our  new  underwear,  which  new  home  they  welcomed  with 
glee." 

In  short,  it  cannot  be  denied  that  all  of  the  efforts  to  get  the 
men  cleaned  up,  re-equipped  and  properly  clothed,  were  not 
entirely  successful,  doubtless  because  of  the  countless  demands 
which  the  unprecedented  efforts  of  the  allied  forces  put  on  every 
department.  The  morning  of  November  11th  found  many  organ- 
izations of  the  division  on  the  march  to  join  the  Second  American 
Army  in  its  attack  on  Metz,  with  the  men  clad  in  the  same  clothes 
they  had  slept  and  fought  in  for  over  three  weeks  in  the  M euse- 
Argonne  Battle,  and  which  they  had  worn  continuously.  Many 
units  of  the  division  had  received  no  replacements  and  were 
starting  into  another  drive  with  only  the  veteran  remnants  who 
had  survived  the  recent  battle. 

^  This  same  writer,  from  Company  M,  113th  Infantry,  has  apparently  given  much  thought 
to  the  subject  of  cooties.    We  quote  his  entry  of  Sunday,  November  10th: 

"The  usual  physical  inspection  for  cooties.  They  were  there  as  usual,  and  we 
were  cautioned  not  to  have  them  the  following  Sunday,  as  usual,  but  they  were  there 
in  force  as  usual,  and  nothing  was  done  about  it,  as  usual." 

It  may  have  been  the  writer  of  the  above,  who  was  reported  to  have  remarked 
durinff  the  days  of  battle  that  two  things  had  been  made  dear  to  him:  One,  why  the 
French  always  shrugged  their  shoulders  while  talldng,  and  the  second,  why  all 
pictures  of  hfapoleon  showed  him  with  one  hand  in  his  shirt.

ATTACHED  TO  THE  SECOND  ARMY 

We  Are  Attached  to  the  Second  Army  For  Its  Attack  on  Metz. 

On  November  10th,  orders^  came  relieving  the  29th  Division 
from  duty  with  the  First  Army  and  the  5th  Corps,  and  assigning 
it  to  the  Second  American  Army,  which  was  developing  an 
advance  in  the  direction  of  M.etz\  On  the  same  day  at  23:45 
o'clock  (11:45  p.m.)  Field  Orders  No.  27'  were  issued,  directing 
the  move  of  the  division  the  following  day  to  the  vicinity  of 
Dieulouard.  These  orders,  however,  were  never  executed,  for  the 
following  day  brought  news  that  a  suspension  of  hostilities  had 
been  ordered  at  11:00  o'clock.  Messages  were  promptly  sent 
recalling  the  troops  which  already  had  taken  up  the  march,  and 
the  division  remained  in  the  same  locality.

*  The  story  u  doubtless  attributed  to  many  different  organizations,  but  it's  good  enough 
for  us  to  cUim  too,  of  the  two  Doughboys,  who  were  talking  about  the  new  drive  on 
Metz:  The  first  remarked,  "They  say  Pershing  says  he  is  going  to  take  Metz  if  it 
costs  kirn  100,000  lives."    "Oenerous  Son  of  a  Gun,  ain't  he?"  replied  the  second.

CHAPTER  XXX. 


THE  ARMISTICE — '^WHERE  DO  WE  GO  FROM  HERB.'* 


Words  are  totally  inadequate  to  describe  the  feelings  of  the 
men  when  the  orders  to  return  to  their  billets  were  received. 
Though,  of  course,  not  unexpected,  the  change  from  war  to  peace 
was  even  more  sudden  than  had  been  the  original  change  from 
peace  to  war.  One  moment  foimd  the  men,  with  ranks  depleted, 
grimly  marching  forward  to  take  part  in  another  great  offensive; 
the  next  moment  a  message  was  received:  the  word  was  passed 
down  the  line  that  the  Armistice  had  been  signed — ^and  the  war 
won!  Backs  upon  which  the  heavy  packs  bore  grievously, 
straightened  up;  men  who  but  a  moment  before  were  wondering 
whether  in  the  next  great  offensive,  they  too  would  "go  west"  to 
join  so  many  of  their  comrades,  suddenly  saw  a  new  vista  of  life 
opening  up  to  them.  Their  thoughts  spanned  the  Atlantic  at  a 
bouud  and  there  sprang  up  immediately  in  every  heart  the  desire 
for — Home!  At  first  all  were  too  dazed  to  adjust  their  minds  to 
this  new  thing.  But  quickly  there  was  formed  the  after- Armistice 
slogan  of  all  of  the  armies — "When  do  we  go  home?" 

Returning  to  their  billets,  many  different  forms  of  celebra- 
tions were  indulged  in.  The  bands  were  called  upon  and  nobly 
responded,  playing  the  National  Airs  of  all  of  the  allies.  In  some 
villages,  impromptu  celebrations  were  indulged  in,  including 
formal  dress  parade3>  and  addresses  by  the  mayor  or  other 
dignitary,  and  by  the  local  military  commander.  The  men  them- 
selves celebrated  as  their  individual  tastes  dictated :  some  joined 
the  villagers,  getting  beautifully  "zig-zag,"  while  others  wrote 
home,  pictiuing  their  return,  and  thanking  God  they  had  come 
through  safely.  To  some — the  men  who  for  one  cause  or  another 
bad  not  actively  participated  in  battle — there  was  a  sense  of  real 
disappointment  that  the  war  had  ended  before  they  could  get  in  it. 

The  civilians,  too,  reflected  a  variety  of  emotions,  but  the 
one  strain  running  through  all  their  celebrations  was  a  deep 
pa  thos.  Probably  the  most  definite  impression  left  in  the  mind 
of  the  writer  was  that  of  the  unrestrained  joy  of  each  house-holder 
at  being  able  for  the  first  time  in  nearly  five  years  to  leave  his 
door  open  and,  pulling  aside  his  window  curtains,  to  let  the  light 
shine  on  the  streets  of  the  village.    The  populace  marched  up  and 

[  286  ] 


THE  ARMISTICE 

down  the  narrow  streets  arm  in  arm,  for  the  most  part  solemnly, 
apparently  too  dazed  to  comprehend  the  tremendous  event  which 
had  come  into  their  lives,  or  more  likely,  appreciating  to  the  fullest 
the  great  spiritual  significance  of  the  news,  rejoicing  that  the  end 
of  the  tremendous  conflict  which  had  taken  so  terrific  a  toll  from 
them  was  finally  ended,  and,  probably,  hoping  that  the  God  of 
War  had  not  required  during  those  last  days  the  sacrifice  of 
another  of  their  loved  ones.  The  open-eyed  wonder  and  delight 
with  which  they  seemed  to  regard  the  lighted  windows  and  the 
open  doors  was  suggestive  of  the  great  value  the  simple,  ordinary 
things  of  life  have,  when  they  are  taken  away.  Of  course,  even 
in  the  smaller  towns  there  were  some  who  celebrated  more  unre- 
strainedly and  noisily,  and  in  the  larger  cities  the  lively  demon- 
strations of  joy  knew  no  bounds;  but  the  observance  or  celebration 
of  the  momentous  event  in  the  little  villages  in  which  we  were 
billeted,  so  near  the  front,  were  deeply  religious  and  serious  in 
their  nature. 

There  was  a  seeming  great  desire  and  a  hopeless  inability  on 
the  part  of  the  villagers  to  give  expression  to  the  emotions  which 
possessed  them,  especially  to  the  feelings  of  gratitude  which  they 
entertained  for  us,  their  American  allies  and  friends.  We  came 
in  for  some  of  the  most  heart-felt  thanks  and  the  most  earnest 
congratulations  which  probably  we  ever  will  receive. 

In  the  different  officers'  and  company  messes  on  "Armistice 
Night"  the  event  was  variously  celebrated.  Some  of  the  more  far- 
sighted  Mess  Officers  and  Mess  Sergeants  quickly  grasped  the  full 
significance  of  the  tremendous  event  and  prepared  to  celebrate 
in  a  manner  befitting  the  occasion.  Many  were  the  toasts  offered 
to  the  armies  of  our  allies  and  to  our  departed  comrades.  Probably 
no  mess  but  mourned  the  absence  of  some  beloved  member,  absent 
forever,  who  had  answered  the  soldiers'  last  Roll  Call  during  the 
trying  days  just  passed.  The  thoughts  of  all  were  tiu-n^  to 
those  who  had  laid  down  their  lives  in  the  great  struggle  for  the 
freedom  of  the  world  and  the  salvation  of  civilization  itself. 
Many  a  comrade  on  that  night,  undertaking  to  respond  to  a  toast 
to  his  former  comrades,  broke  down  completely,  and  by  his  manly 
and  obvious  grief  paid  a  tribute  to  his  fallen  comrades  more 
eloquent  than  the  words  of  Anthony  over  the  bier  of  the  dead 
Caesar.  Not  a  man  was  there  who  did  not  feel  the  tremendous 
burden  which  would  be  lifted  from  the  hearts  and  minds  cf  the 

[  237  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-KINTH  DIVISION 

members  of  his  family.   The  comradeships  and  sentiments  of  that 
night  will  last  as  long  as  life  itself. 

*Where  Do  We  Go  From  Here?'' 

Immediately  after  the  news  of  the  Armistice,  the  division  was 
agog  with  excitement  at  the  prospect  of  being  one  of  the  divisions 
to  compose  the  Army  of  Occupation  of  Germany.  Rumors,  as 
usual,  flew  thick  and  fast.  Many  were  the  arguments  advanced 
why  we  should  be  selected  and  equally  as  many  why  we  should 
not  be.  The  highest  authorities  were  quoted  to  prove  both  sides 
of  the  argument.  However,  the  most  persistent  rumor  met  its 
untimely  death  when,  on  November  14th,  orders  came  directing 
us  to  turn  over  the  pick  of  our  horses  and  the  best  of  our  motor 
cars  to  the  8rd  Division,  which  was  destined  to  form  part  of  the 
Army  of  Occupation.  This  command  was  obeyed,  as  were  all 
commands  received  by  the  29th  Division,  in  spirit  and  in  letter, 
and  it  was  a  source  of  gratification  to  the  commanding  general  and 
his  staff  that  they  received  from  the  staff  of  the  Srd  Division  an 
acknowledgment  of  the  sportsmanlike  spirit  and  the  soldierly 
manner  in  which  the  29th  Division  had  obeyed  so  exactly  an 
order  which  afforded  so  great  a  temptation  to  do  otherwise. 

The  days  following  the  signing  of  the  Armistice  were  trying 
days  for  everyone.  Orders  were  received  only  to  be  revoked  before 
they  could  be  executed.  Moves  would  be  planned  only  to  be 
abandoned.  Busses  and  trains  were  ordered  to  be  in  readiness; 
then  would  come  information  that  no  busses  or  trains  were 
available.^  As  usual  there  was  a  reason,  though  we  did  not  then 
believe  it.  The  signing  of  the  Armistice  had  brought  forward  so 
many  new  problems  for  immediate  solution  that  all  means  of 
transportation  were  required  for  new  and  additional  uses. 

Finally  on  November  18th*  we  were  relieved  from  duty  with 
the  7th  Corps,  to  which  we  had  been  assigned  recently,  and  were 
ordered  from  the  Tronville  Area  to  the  11th  Training  Area,  with 
Division  Headquarters  at  Bourbonne-les-Bains.  The  Conunand 
Post  of  the  division  opened  there  at  12  o'clock  on  November 
20th.*  The  1 1th  Training  Area  was  destined  to  be  the  home  of  the 
division  for  the  next  six  months  until  orders  to  sail  for  the  United 
States  were  received.

CHAPTER  XXXI. 

THE  54th  artillery  brigade  and  the  104th  ammunition  train 

REJOIN  THE  division — CHANGES  IN  OFFICER  PERSONNEL. 


On  December  1st,  1918,  the  54th  Field  Artillery  Brigade,  then 
in  the  Fourth  Area,  was  ordered^  to  rejoin  the  29th  Division  in  the 
Eleventh  Training  Area.  Accordingly,  the  early  part  of  December 
found  the  artillery  brigade  again  with  the  division.  The  inabiUty 
of  the  artillery  brigade  to  participate  with  the  rest  of  the  division 
in  the  Meuse-Argonne  battle  was  a  source  of  as  deep  regret  to 
the  infantrymen  as  to  the  artillerymen  themselves,  and  the  news 
that  in  our  next  offensive  we  would  be  supported  by  our  own 
artillery  had  been  hailed  with  deUght. 

After  its  arrival  in  France,  before  the  end  of  July,  the  54th 
Artillery  Brigade  was  assembled  in  various  small  towns  and 
villages  near  Poitiers.  The  units  of  the  brigade  were  the  first 
American  troops  to  be  stationed  in  that  section  and  they  were 
received  with  an  unusual  amount  of  kindness  and  interest.  Here 
it  was  that  the  preliminary  instruction  in  French  artillery  methods 
was  begun.  Each  regiment  was  equipped  with  a  few  of  the  guns 
it  was  to  use  later,  while  French  officers  and  non-commissioned 
officers  -were  assigned  as  instructors.  Horses  were  received  for  all 
three  regiments,  though  in  insufficient  numbers.  Instruction  in 
all  branches  of  modem  warfare  so  far  as  concerned  artillery  was 
given,  while  waiting  for  a  Firing  Center  to  become  available. 
Finally  on  August  24th,  1918,  the  brigade  entrained  for  Meucon. 

While  at  Meucon  the  brigade  had  won  the  encomiums  of 
instructors  and  higher  commanders,  not  alone  for  its  unusually 
fine  personnel,  but  also  for  its  actual  accomplishments  on  the 
range  and,  in  fact,  in  every  branch  of  artillery  work.  Brigadier- 
General  L.  R.  Holbrook,  of  the  Regular  Army,  joined  the  brigade 
there  and  assumed  command.  After  the  brigade  had  completed 
its  course,  there  broke  out  a  severe  influenza  epidemic  that  caused 
quarantine  regulations  to  be  established,  and,  worse  still,  took 
such  toll  of  the  railway  personnel  as  to  cause  the  movement  of 
the  brigade  toward  the  front  to  be  delayed  for  some  weeks.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

A-though  the  artillery  units  themselves  did  not  see  actual 
service.  General  Holbrook  and  several  members  of  his  staff. 
Colonel  Washington  Bowie,  Jr.,  of  the  110th,  Colonel  W.  C. 
Jones,  of  the  111th,  and  Colonel  Quincy  A.  Gillmore,  of  the  112th, 
with  two  members  of  their  respective  staffs,  on  October  29th, 
proceeded  to  join  the  1st  Artillery  Brigade,  at  Exermont,  and 
participated  with  that  organization  in  the  closing  days  of  the 
final  battle — ^until  November  5th — when  they  rejoined  their 
organizations. 

The  stay  of  the  artillery  at  Meucon  and  the  days  of  training 
there  are  so  interestingly  told  by  the  historian  of  ^'Captain 
Boyd's  Battery,  A.E.F."  that  his  account  again  must  be  quoted  : 

At  Meucon. 
"September  2^,  1918. 

"We  have  full  equipment  in  seventy-fives  and  quarter  equipment 
of  gassed  horses;  also  a  batch  of  forty  new  recruits,  some  of  them 
seven  weeks  from  civilian  clothes,  but  all  O.  K. ;  and  a  new  Brigadier, 
General  Holbrook,  promoted  from  Colonel  after  combat  with  the 
First  Division  artillery.  Further,  we  have  had  lots  of  rain  and  lots 
more  work.  This  is  a  six  weeks'  course,  but  they  are  putting  us 
through  it  in  four. 

"There  is  not  so  much  hiking  now,  we  are  down  to  real  things. 
Generally  it's  range  work  all  day  long,  and  perhaps  at  night  too.  All 
emphasis  is  placed  on  the  guns,  much  to  the  drivers'  disgust.  These 
seventy-fives  are  a  wonder,  the  French  system  of  fire  a  whiz;  our  only 
regret  is  that  we  wasted  a  year  fooling  with  old  methods.  The 
recruits  have  gone  right  into  crews  with  the  old  men  and  in  many 
cases  have  won  places  on  the  first  firing  battery.  But  the  fact  that 
we  were  so  thoroughly  grounded  in  American  guns  has  enabled  us 
to  go  ahead  faster,  and  to  take  the  new  men  ahead  with  us.  Our 
instructors  are  oflScers  and  non-coms,  of  the  Regulars,  back  from  the 
line,  and  aren't  much  on  eulogies,  but  they  have  to  hand  it  to  us. 
They  say  we're  the  best  they've  handled,  by  far.  It's  joy  to  go  out 
on  that  big  range  with  our  guns  and  just  cut  loose.  The  gun  crews 
work  like  machines,  rolling  them  through.  After  the  day's  firing 
they  let  each  section  chief  fire  his  piece  at  individual  targets,  pro- 
vided he  has  ammunition  punched  at  low  range  by  mistake.  Number 
Three  knows  what  a  wink  means,  and  we  always  have  enough  left 
over  to  bang  away  at  an  old  stone  wall,  or  knock  branches  off  a  lone 
and  much  abused  tree,  half-a-mile  away. 

"We  are  to  take  up  positions  under  night  conditions  at  nine  this 
evening  relieving  the  111th  in  camouflaged  gunpits,  the  pride  of 
Bacchus  and  Cedey,  our  camouflage  sharks.  Outside  of  gas  training 
and  occasional  peace  rumors,  we're  perfectly  happy.

TEE  ARTILLERY  AT  MEUCON 

''October  16, 1918. 

*'Well,  we're  out  of  luck  again.  We're  finished  our  six  weeks' 
course  in  the  four  weeks,  and  had  our  orders  to  go  up  and  get  in 
behind  our  doughboys  in  the  Argonne — ^this  is  no  nunor,  the  General

mighty  present — but  now  the  119th.  hasn't  its  trucks,  and  there  are 
no  trains  to  get  the  brigade  up  if  it  had  them,  and  here  we  are  for 
further  'intensive'  training.  General  Headquarters,  A.  £.  F.,  appar- 
ently thinks  we're  at  the  front;  the  recruits  were  sent  up  toward  the 
line  to  find  us,  and  shipped  all  over  France  before  they  landed  here.

Says  Bozy:  'Dis  vwar  vwont  endt  undil  I  getd  three  Germans; 
vun  for  my  papa,  vun  for  my  mama  and  vun  for  Uncle  Sam.'  It 
begins  to  look  that  way.  Wilson's  answer  wasn't  as  stern  as  it  might 
have  been,  but  may  give  Jerry  enough  to  keep  him  thinking  over  the 
winter  anyway.  We  are  to  get  out  of  here  as  soon  as  we  can  find  the 
rolling  stock.  Word  runs  around  that  our  Brigadier  says  he'U  move 
heaven  and  earth  to  get  us  in  before  it  ends,  and  it  is  further  said  that 
good  old  General  Morton  is  raising  a  howl  for  his  own  artillery.  Life 
becomes  brighter  after  weeks  of  nothing  or  next  to  nothing.  We 
hiked  and  groomed  our  gassed  horses  and  built  roads,  and  sometimes 
descended  so  low  as  to  play  ball  all  afternoon;  this  with  a  war  crumb- 
ling to  pieces  right  in  the  same  country! 

''November  P,  1918. 

"We  are  all  packed  up,  ready  to  pull  out  of  here  early  in  the 
morning.  Our  barracks  are  clean  and  sleekly  policed,  our  packs  are 
made  up,  except  for  the  blankets;  when  these  get  in  our  home  wiU  be 
on  our  backs  again,  and  we'll  be  off  for  the  Zone  of  Advance  and  that 
much  nearer  the  front  if  the  Huns  don't  squeal  kamerad,  and  the 
Allies  don't  fall  for  it  before  we  get  there. 
"November  18, 1918. 

"On  November  10,  when  we  were  loading  on  the  train  at  Vannes, 
newsboys  brought  extras  telling  of  the  Kaiser's  abdication.  That 
night  when  we  skirted  Paris  there  was  no  further  news;  but  the  next 
day  at  noon  the  storm  broke.  'L'armistice  est  signe!'  yelled  a  tele- 
graph operator  from  his  tower  as  we  passed,  and  after  that  our  day's 
run  was  through  a  France  mad  with  rapture.  Towns  blossomed  out 
almost  solid  with  flags;  as  we  passed  the  whole  population  seemed 
to  rush  to  the  railroad  stations.  *Vive  I'Amerique!  Vive  la  France! 
La  guerre  est  finie!'  or,  out  of  respect  to  our  nationality,  'la  guerre 
fin-eesh!'  Sometimes  they  added,  *Merci  a  I'Amerique'  and  there 
were  quite  as  many  American  as  French  flags.  Oh!  they  gave  us 
'last  minutemen'  a  great  reception  as  we  went  through,  but  I  am 
afraid  we  did  not  altogether  respond  to  it.  We  cherished  bitter 
doubts  about  the  whole  business  until,  next  day,we  ran  into  American 
soldiers  of  the  Zone  of  Advance  without  helmets  or  gas  masks,  and 
then  we  knew  it  was  all  over.   They  were  126th  Division  men  and  wore 

[241  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

their  insignia  on  their  shoulder.     They  say  that  soon  the  whole 
A.  £  F.  will  blossom  out  in  insignia. 

"Well,  the  guerre  is  finied  all  right,  and  behold  the  'best  brigade 
that  ever  went  through  Meucon'  (quotes  inclose  matter,  if  not  exact 
words,  of  parting  citation  by  camp  conmiander)  sweeping  the  streets 
of  the  little  town  of  Grand!  When  we  detrained  at  Liffol-le-6rand, 
they  let  us  police  up  the  station  area  and  then  marched  us  here.  We 
volunteered  eighteen  months  ago,  and  here  we  are  cleaning  streets 
and  feeling  hke  kids  who  carried  water  for  the  elephant  and  then 
didn't  see  it.  It  is  said  and  generally  believed  that  we  were  under 
orders  for  the  Battle  of  Metz,  called  off  by  the  armistice.  And  now 
the  best  we  can  hope  for  is  a  crack  at  the  Army  of  Ckx^upation  which, 
our  luck  holding,  we  won't  get.  And  to  think  that  they  took  men 
right  out  of  civilian  clothes  and  shot  them  through  a  casual  camp 
overseas  and  into  combat  within  two  months;  pretty! 

"Oh!  we're  in  a  beautiful  frame  of  mind.  I  don't  know  whether 
it's  the  bravery  of  a  man  whose  opponent  has  left  town,  but  I'm  sure 
you  won't  find  many  men  in  this  regiment  who  are  not  sincere  and 
thorough  soreheads  on  the  subject  of  not  getting  up  in  time  to  be 
shot  at.  Troops  who  have  been  up  once  say  they  never  want  to  go 
again,  but,  when  asked  to  recall  their  first  sector,  generally  admit 
that  they  were  darned  fools  enough  to  want  to  see  what  it  was  like. 
That's  us;  we  know  just  how  foolish  we  are,  and  yet  we  can't  help  it. 
When  you  train  for  a  thing  eighteen  months  you  want  to  tiy  it,  or 
think  you  do.  Our  Colonel  did  get  up  a  day  or  two  before  it  ended 
and  saw  quite  a  lot,  but  that  doesn't  comfort  his  regiment.  Now  all 
the  officers  are  planning  special  trips  to  see  Verdun  in  the  regimental 
cars — ^but  enough  of  this! 

On  December  18th,  1918,  the  104th  Trench-Mortar  Battery 
was  ordered  to  Vitry  to  prepare  for  an  early  return  to  the  United 
States.  The  Battery  boarded  the  U.S.S.  Mongolia  at  St.  Nazaire, 
on  February  23,  1919,  and  landed  at  New  York  on  March  7th, 
fully  two  months  ahead  of  the  rest  of  the  division. 

To  bring  the  artillery  and  infantry  oflScers  together  and  increase 
the  knowledge  of  each  in  the  workings  of  the  other  branch  of  the 
service,  orders  were  issued  shortly  after  the  arrival  of  the  artillery, 
directing  the  interchange  of  certain  infantry  and  artillery  officers.^ 

The  return  of  the  artillery  to  the  division  also  made  it  possible 
to  revive  the  old  divisional  show  "Snap  It  Up,"  and  the  men  of 
that  organization  again  were  put  under  the  direction  of  Captain 
Murray  A.  Cobb,  A.D.C.,  who  had  originally  organized  the  troupe 
in  the  United  States.*

CHANGES  IN  OFFICER  PERSONNEL 

Changes  in  Officer  Personnel. 

Upon  coming  out  of  the  line  a  great  many  changes  in  the 
officer  personnel  of  the  division  were  necessitated.  In  most  cases 
these  were  to  fill  the  various  vacancies  caused  by  casualties,  or 
to  replace  officers  transferred  from  the  division  for  service  in 
higher  units. 

Major  Millard  E.  Tydings  was  promoted  to  a  lieutenant- 
colonelcy,  and  appointed  Division  Machine  Gun  Officer^  to  fill  the 
vacancy  caused  by  the  promotion  of  Colonel  Kelley,  now  in 
command  of  the  116th  Infantry. 

Lieutenant-Colonel  Harry  Coope,  formerly  of  the  District  of 
Columbia  National  Guard,  who  had  been  wiUi  the  division  since 
its  organization,  was  made  adjutant^  of  the  4th  Army  Corps,  and 
thus  promoted  out  of  the  division.  Captain  George  Scott  Stewart, 
Jr.,  was  then  appointed  Division  Adjutant,'  and  Captain  William 
P.  Lane,  Jr.,  formerly  regimental  adjutant  of  the  115th  Infantry, 
was  appointed  Assistant  Division  Adjutant  in  the  place  of 
Captain  Stewart.^ 

1st  Lieutenant  Harry  W.  Oehrl  was  appointed  Division 
Munitions  Officer.^  Lieutenant-Colonel  Charles  C.  Bankhead' 
was  relieved  from  duty  as  lieutenant-colonel  of  the  118th  Infantry, 
and  Lieutenant-Colonel  Willis  E.  Mills  was  relieved  from  duty^ 
as  lieutenant-colonel  of  the  115th  Infantry. 

On  November  18th,*  Colonel  John  Allen  of  the  Regular  Army 
Medical  Corps,  reported  for  duty  as  Division  Surgeon,  Colonel 
Huggins,  as  already  noted,  having  been  evacuated  on  account  of 
sickness  during  the  Meuse-Argonne  offensive.  Colonel  Allen 
relieved  Lieutenant-Colonel  J.  Harry  Ullrich,  formerly  of  the 
Maryland  Medical  Corps,  commander  of  the  104th  Sanitary 
Train,  who  had  been  acting  Division  Surgeon  since  the  departure 
of  Colonel  Huggins.* 

Major  Angus  D.  McLay  reported  to  the  division  and  assumed

command  of  the  104th  Field  Signal  Battalion,^  relieving  Captain 
Thomas  J.  Armstrong,  who  had  been  in  temporary  command. 

Upon  the  departure  of  Lieutenant-Colonel  John  Philip  HilP 
to  become  Judge  Advocate  of  the  8th  Corps,  Major  Walter  S. 
Brower,  who  had  reported  for  duty  as  Assistant  Division  Judge 
Advocate'  was  assigned  to  duty  as  Judge  Advocate.  Colonel 
Hill,  like  Colonel  Coope,  had  been  with  the  division  continuously 
since  its  organization,  and  in  addition  to  his  duties  as  Judge 
Advocate  had  acted  as  Division  Inspector  for  a  time,  in  the  Alsace 
Sector. 

On  December  1st,  Colonel  Sidney  A.  Cloman,  Chief  of  Staff, 
was  relieved  from  duty  with  the  division  and  sent  to  Paris  for  duty 
with  the  Finance  Section  of  the  Army,^  Lieutenant-Colonel  W.  S. 
Bowen,  General  Staff,  G-S,  acting  as  Chief  of  Staff  until  the 
arrival  of  Colonel  Clarence  O.  Sherrill,  General  Staff,  on  December 
21,  1918.* 

Colonel  Kelley,  conunanding  the  116th  Infantry,  having  been 
relieved  to  recuperate  from  the  effects  of  gas,  Colonel  George  W. 
Ball  reported  for  duty  and  was  assigned  to  command  that  regi- 
ment. Lieutenant-Colonels  Francis  D.  Ross  and  Charles  R.  W. 
Morison,  of  the  Regular  Army,  reported  at  the  same  time  and 
were  assigned  respectively  to  the  113th  and  115  th  Infantries. 

On  December  24th,«  Colonel  W.  R.  Pope,  conmianding  the 
llSth  Infantry  was  transferred  to  the  Provost  Marshal  General's 
Department.  The  following  day.  Colonel  John  McA.  Palmer,^ 
General  Staff,  who  had  commanded  the  58th  Brigade  during  its 
participation  in  the  Meuse-Argonne  Offensive,  except  for  the  first 
few  days,  was  ordered  to  General  Headquarters  for  duty  with  the 
General  Staff.  Colonel  Palmer  had  been  recommended  for 
appointment  as  brigadier  general,  and  undoubtedly  would  have 
been  appointed  had  not  the  Armistice  intervened. 

On  December  28th,  Major  J.  A.  K.  Marshall,^  was  assigned  to

the  command  of  the  104th  Ammunition  Train,  upon  the  retire- 
ment of  Lieutenant-Colonel  William  B.  Martin,  relieved.^ 

The  new  year  saw  additional  changes,  some  of  them  most 
welcome — upon  the  retiun  of  former  officers  who  had  been 
wounded.  Among  these  were  Major  George  M.  Alexander'  and 
Major  H.  L.  Opie. 

On  January  6th,  Lieutenant-Colonel  C.  A.  Dougherty*  of  the 
Regular  Army,  reported  for  duty  as  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff,  G-2, 
to  fill  the  vacancy  caused  by  the  transfer  in  December  of  Major 
John  A.  Cutchins,  General  Staff,  to  advanced  General  Head- 
quarters at  Treves,  Germany. 

On  January  14th,  Colonel  Elliott  J.  Dent,  commanding  the 
104th  Engineer  Regiment  was  relieved*  from  further  duty  with 
the  division  and  transferred  to  the  4th  Engineers.  Colonel 
Frederick  B.  Downing  succeeded  Colonel  Dent,  and  concmianded 
the  regiment  until  sailing  orders  were  received,  when  he  was 
relieved  from  duty  with  the  division.* 

Colonel  George  S.  Goodale,  General  Staff,  returned  and  re- 
sumed his  former  duties  as  Chief  of  Staff,  relieving  Colonel  Sher- 
rill,  on  January  16th,  1919.*  The  return  of  Colonel  Goodale 
was  a  source  of  pleasure  and  satisfaction  to  all  of  his  former 
associates.  No  officer  in  the  division  served  with  greater  ability 
and  zeal  and  unselfish  devotion  to  duty,  nor  had  more  thoroughly 
at  heart  the  best  interests  of  the  division  and  the  men  under 
him  than  did  Colonel  Goodale.  He  came  to  the  division  as 
its  first  chief  of  staff.  An  honor  graduate  of  the  School  of  the 
Line  and  of  the  Staff  School  at  Leavenworth,  he  gave  freely 
of  his  talents  and  his  strength  to  the  organization  of  the  division 
and  to  its  training.  He  went  overseas  with  the  division  and  was 
its  chief  of  staff  until  the  last  week  of  the  division's  stay  in  Alsace, 
when  he  was  ordered  to  the  Army  General  Staff  College  at 
Langres,  for  additional  training.  Thus  it  was  that  he  did  not  have 
the  opportunity  to  see  service  with  the  division  in  the  Meuse- 
Argonne  Offensive.  At  the  disbandment  of  the  division  Colonel 
Goodale  had  not  received  promotion,  decorations,  nor  even  a

CHAPTER  XXXn. 

LIFE    IN    THE    ELEVENTH    TRAINING    AREA — ^WELFARE   ORGANIZATIONS — 

ATHLETICS — "SNAP  IT  UP" — LEAVE  DETAILS. 


Upon  arrival  in  the  new  area,  it  had  been  realized  generally 
that  several  months  must  needs  elapse  before  sufficient  shipping 
would  be  available  to  transport  our  troops  to  their  homes,  and, 
at  the  same  time,  take  care  of  the  economic  necessities  of  the 
world.  On  the  other  hand,  the  fairness  and  wisdom  of  sending 
all  organizations  home  in  the  order  in  which  they  had  arrived  in 
France  was  immediately  manifest.  Then,  too,  the  distinction 
between  an  Armistice  and  a  Treaty  of  Peace  was  beginning  to 
take  form  in  the  minds  of  the  men.  They  came  to  realize  not 
only  that  the  war  was  not  over  but  also  that  the  future  actions 
of  our  late  enemies  could  not  be  foretold — nor,  for  that  matter, 
could  the  actions  of  our  allies.  The  fine  partnership  of  previous 
days  which  had  resulted  in  that  unity  of  command  which,  in  turn, 
had  brought  victory,  was  straining  on  the  rocks  of  national  self- 
interest.  The  future  was  not  entirely  untroubled,  and  had  it 
been  possible  to  have  transported  every  man  to  his  home  imme- 
diately, the  wisdom  of  that  course  was  doubtful. 

In  all  the  armies,  made  up  as  they  were  so  largely  of  civihan 
soldiers,  the  after-armistice  period  obviously  was  a  trying  one 
to  the  individual  soldier  who  longed  to  be  home  again  to  resume 
his  civil  occupation  and  to  repair  his  shattered  fortunes.  The 
period  likewise  was  one  that  gave  no  little  concern  to  the  High 
Command.  In  our  own  division,  the  nerves  of  the  men  who  had 
been  under  fire  continually  for  months  and  who  had  endured  the 
stress  and  strain  of  the  world's  greatest  battle  for  three  weeks, 
were  naturally  frayed  out.  There  was  gloom  in  the  prospect  of 
long  days  of  intensive  training  and  continuous  drilling  in  the  rain 
and  mud,  snow  and  sleet  of  a  French  winter.  There  was  irony  in 
manoeuvers  against  an  assumed  enemy,  after  having  met  success- 
fully in  battle  an  actual  enemy. 

The  problem  which  confronted  the  army  authorities  was  so 
to  pre-occupy  the  minds  of  officers  and  men  alike  that  that  keen, 

[  247  1 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

natural  desire  to  go  home  immediately  would  not  result  in  too 
great  a  loss  of  esprit.    It  was  readily  seen  that  the  three  things 
which  would  contribute  most  largely  to  the  comfort  and  happiness 
of  the  men  were  interesting  work,  comfortable  quarters    ajid 
healthful  amusements.     But  there  must  be  no  relaxation    in 
discipline.    On  the  contrary,  the  same  quality  of  discipline  which 
had  made  the  division  famous,  and  which  had  caused  it  to  render 
such  an  excellent  account  of  itself  in  battle,  must  be  insisted 
upon. 

The  higher  commanders,  particularly,  were  given  a  great  deal 
of  work  of  a  tactical  nature.    Advantage  likewise  was  taken  of 
the  opportunity  to  train  many  thousands  of  oflScers  and  men  who 
would  soon  revert  to  their  civilian  status.    Their  training  would 
be  an  element  of  strength  to  our  country  for  many  years  to  come. 
And,  too,  an  excellent  opportunity  was  thus  afforded  those  officers 
in  the  higher  grades,  in  the  permanent  military  establishment,  to 
have  that  experience  in  the  handling  of  large  bodies  of  men  in 
manoeuvers  which  had  made  the  French  and  German  Armies  so 
efficient  in  the  early  days  of  the  war. 

The  work-day  for  the  men  was  greatly  curtailed,  the  afternoon 
for  the  most  part  being  given  over  to  athletics.    Welfare  officers 
were  appointed  in  every  organization  whose  duties,  as  indicated 
by  their  title,  were  to  see  to  the  welfare  of  the  men  under  their 
organizations.     Under  the  term  of  "welfare"  was  included  the 
proper  preparation  of  adequate  food,  making  billets  as  comfortable 
as  possible  under  the  circumstances,  and  seeing  that  the  men  were 
properly  and  well  clothed.    At  all  times  the  question  of  proper 
billeting  facilities  was  a  serious  one,  inasmuch  as  the  men  neces- 
sarily had  to  be  quartered  in  the  homes  and  bams  of  French 
peasants,  whose  ideas  of  sanitation  were  as  crude  as  their  desires 
were  simple.    It  required  at  times  a  great  deal  of  ingenuity  to 
make  the  primitive  billets  in  the  dirty,  muddy  villages  dispel  the 
natural  longing  for  the  comforts  of  home. 

The  efforts  to  keep  the  men  amused  were  directed,  first,  to 
those  forms  of  amusements  which  would  afford  proper  rivalry 
between  the  organizations  and  would  improve  the  physical  con- 
dition of  the  men,  such  as  foot  ball,  base  ball  and  boxing.  Amateur 
theatricals,  moving  pictures  and  concerts  were  employed  to 
furnish  occupation  and  enjoyment  to  the  men  in  the  long  evening 
hours.

WELFARE  ORGANIZATIONS 

Welfare  Organizations. 

The  welfare  organizations  were  represented  in  the  division 
by  the  Red  Cross,  Y.M.C.A.,  £[nights  of  Columbus  and  Jewish 
Welfare  League.  It  was  not  until  after  the  Armistice  that  the 
services  of  these  organizations  were  uniformly  recognized,  though 
few  men  in  the  division  who  came  that  way  failed  to  carry  with 
them  a  mental  picture  of  the  Red  Cross  Service  station  under  the 
bluflp  beyond  Samogneux,  where  the  soldier  always  received  a 
cheery  word,  a  cup  of  hot  chocolate  and  something  to  smoke. 
Nor  will  the  men  soon  forget  the  untiring  services  of  the  Y.M.C.A. 
men  attached  to  the  division  during  the  period  of  hostilities,  when 
a  box  of  cigarettes,  a  package  of  candy  or  some  other  delicacy  was 
received  at  a  time  when  most  needed. 

The  Y.M.C.A.  now  established  some  twenty  huts  throughout 
the  divisional  area,  and  in  practically  every  hut,  a  home-sick 
soldier  could  find  a  real  American  girl,  not  only  willing  but  glad 
to  sit  down  and  talk  with  him,  to  serve  him  such  things  as  her 
canteen  provided,  and  to  give  him  the  distinct  impression  that 
personally  he  was  somebody.  While  there  may  be  conflicting 
opinions  as  to  the  advisability  of  having  sent  women  workers  to 
France,  and  particularly  to  the  fighting  zones,  it  will  be  difficult 
to  find  any  member  of  the  29th  Division  who  has  anything  but 
words  of  praise  and  gratitude  to  them  for  the  very  real  help  and 
the  many  hours  of  companionship  they  provided,  to  say  nothing 
of  the  inspiration  furnished  the  soldier  to  play  the  game  as  his 
people  at  home  would  have  him  play  it. 

Among  other  pleasures  furnished  the  men  by  the  Y.M.C.A. 
were  the  many  professional  shows  which  they  brought  into  the 
area.  Equally  manifest  was  the  willingness  of  the  Y.M.C.A. 
girls,  especially,  to  give  practical  assistance  in  supplying  costumes 
for  the  many  soldier  shows,  and  to  permit  the  use  of  their  huts 
for  the  performances. 

The  work  of  the  Red  Cross  in  the  division  was  carried  on 
almost  entirely  by  men.  To  Captain  Harold  Content,  A.R.C., 
who,  aside  from  his  many  acts  of  kindness  to  the  soldiers,  at  all 
times  willingly  gave  his  professional  services,  as  counsel  for 
prisoners  before  courts  martial,  thanks  should  be  given.  Although 
physically  incapacitated  for  military  service,  he  shared  uncom- 
plainingly the  hardships  of  the  men  in  actual  battle,  and  when  the 
trying  after-Armistice  days  arrived,  exerted  himself  to  the  utmost

limit  to  provide  as  much  reading  material  as  possible  and  to  help 
in  every  way  possible  to  keep  the  men  from  being  unduly  home- 
sick and  dissatisfied. 

The  activities  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus  after  the  Armistice 
were  confined  in  a  large  measure  to  the  furtherance  of  athletics, 
with  particular  emphasis  on  boxing. 

Athletics. 

On  November  27tli,^  Chaplain  Frederic  B.  Withington,  former 
Harvard  foot  ball  star,  was  assigned  to  duty  as  Divisional  Athletic 
Officer.  Foot  ball  teams  were  organized  in  every  unit.  Scarcely 
an  afternoon  passed  that  match  games  were  not  going  on  some- 
where in  the  division  regardless  of  the  weather, — which,  inciden- 
tally, usually  was  rainy.  Numerous  star  players  were  developed 
in  the  diflferent  units  and  later  were  selected  by  Chaplain  Withing- 
ton  and  formed  into  a  team  to  represent  the  division  in  the  A.E.F. 
championship.  This  team  had  little  difficulty  in  defeating  all 
teams  they  met  up  to  the  finals  for  the  First  Army  championship 
team.  But  Chaplain  Withington  will  tell  of  the  development  and 
work  of  the  athletic  teams : 

"Probably  the  sport  which  attracted  most  attention  was  foot  ball, 
though  boxing  always  held  its  own.  Through  it  the  company,  the 
battalion,  the  regiment,  or  the  division  seemed  to  be  able  to  express 
its  fighting  spirit  and  to  exert  its  united  efforts.  Practically  every 
organization  had  its  football  team,  although  its  football  clothing 
might  consist  of  army  shirts,  turned  inside  out  in  order  to  keep  the 
right  side  clean  for  inspection,  and  torn,  worn  out  army  trousers. 
One  unit  was  especially  fortunate  in  being  able  to  outfit  its  team  with 
larffe  blue  jumpers  and  overalls.  Despite  the  hard  knocks  due  to  the 
lack  of  protective  paraphernalia  enthusiasm  ran  high  as  the  cham- 
pionships were  competed  for. 

*'The  earliest  football  activity  was  shown  in  the  114th  and  115th 
Infantry  Regiments  and  the  104th  Supply  Train,  where  the  company 
and  battalion  championships  were  decided  almost  before  the  other 
units  had  organized  their  teams.  Sergeant  Miller,  a  former  captain 
of  a  University  of  Washington  football  team,  and  pupil  of  Gilmore 
Dobie's,  accomplished  remarkable  results  with  the  company  teams 
of  the  104th  Supply  Train,  which  not  only  competed  well  against 
each  other,  but  did  splendidly  in  their  games  with  outside  organiza- 
tions. Captain  Hoffman  of  the  Headquarters  Company  114th 
Infantry,  by  his  enthusiasm  and  never  ceasing  effort,  carried  his

teams  through  to  the  regimental  championship,  defeating  the  three 
battalion  teams,  and  then  followed  it  up  by  making  a  strong  showing 
against  the  more  experienced  Second  Battalion  team  of  the  115th 
Infantry,  champions  of  their  regiment.  Great  credit  is  due  the 
officers  and  men  of  the  115th  Infantry  for  their  determined  and 
enthusiastic  assistance  in  helping  the  Division  Athletic  Office  organize 
and  develop  the  Division  Football  Team. 

'*In  a  blinding  snow  storm  on  the  morning  of  February  7th,  1919, 
the  division  football  team  set  out  in  two  large  artillery  reconnaissance 
cars  to  go  to  Nogent-en-Bassigny  to  play  the  team  of  the  5th  Army 
Corps  Troops  for  the  corps  championship.  When  Nogent  was  reached, 
just  before  noon,  a  big  crew  of  men  were  cleaning  the  field,  but  the 
heavy  snowfall  of  the  early  afternoon  again  obliterated  the  markings, 
so  that  the  game  was  held  up  for  an  hour  while  the  side  lines  were 
penciDed  on  the  snow  with  soft  dirt.    By  taking  advantage  of  the 

f^ale  which  blew  down  the  field,  and  by  using  a  more  suitable  offense 
or  such  conditions,  the  *Blue  and  Gray*  held  the  field  and  won  by  a 
score  of  7  to  0. 

*'A  week  later  a  much  improved  team  met  the  victorious  *WiId- 
cat*  (81st)  Division  Team — champions  of  the  8th  Corps — ^in  the  semi- 
finals of  the  First  Army  championships.  The  game  was  played,  as 
was  the  first,  at  Nogent,  with  the  same  officials,  namely  Major 
Guernsey,  the  former  Yale  drop-kicker,  and  Major  Duncon,  who 
refereed  and  umpired  respectively.  This  time  there  was  no  snow 
on  the  field,  but  there  was  plenty  of  mud.  The  very  confident 
'Wildcat'  eleven  finding  themselves  unable  to  penetrate  the  29th's 
defense,  broke  under  the  strain  of  attempting  to  stop  the  clever 
thrusts  of  Captains  Jarman  and  Ruhl  in  the  hijack  positions,  and 
of  the  more  severe  off-tackle  smashes  of  Sergeant  MiUer  at  fullback. 
The  result  was  another  victory  for  the  29th,  by  a  score  of  20  to  0. 
The  most  spectacular  play  of  the  game  came  immediately  after  the 
kick-off  following  the  first  touchdown,  which  had  been  the  result  of 
a  severe  line  bucking  advance,  when  Sergeant  MiUer,  receiving  the 
ball  on  his  own  twenty-five  yard  line,  ran  behind  a  beautiful  inter- 
ference for  a  touchdown.  This  spectacular  play  broke  whatever 
remaining  spirit  the  'Wildcats'  had  and  cinched  the  game  for  the 
'Blue  and  Gray.' 

''On  Washington's  Birthday  the  team  faced  the  experienced  36th 
Division  team,  which  had  been  plashing  together  for  over  two  months 
under  the  leadership  of  Captain  Wilmot  Whitney,  a  former  Harvard 
player.  This  team  besides  having  won  the  right  to  compete  in  the 
finals  of  the  First  Army  Championships,  had  already  faced  the  best 
teams  in  the  S.  O.  S.  The  remarkable  punting  of  the  Indian  guard, 
Mashett,  and  a  severe  penalty  by  the  referee  at  a  time  when  we  had 
advanced  in  a  series  of  rushes  over  fifty  yards  and  seemed  certain  of  a 
score,  resulted  in  a  tie  game.    The  showing  made  by  the  29th  won 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

many  friends,  as  the  36th  Division  team,  on  account  of  their  experi- 
ence and  record,  had  been  rated  much  higher  than  the  'Blue  and 

Gray.' 

"The  deadlock  was  broken  ten  days  later,  when  a  fumbled  punt 
paved  the  way  for  a  remarkable  drop-kick  of  a  soaked  and  muddy 
ball  by  Lieutenant  'Spitz'  Clarke  of  the  36th  Division  Team.  This 
brought  about  a  3  to  0  score,  the  only  points  scored  against  the 
29th  Division  team  in  all  its  contests,  and  ended  the  'Blue  and 
Gray's'  advance  toward  coveted  A.  £.  F.  championships.  Two 
bruised  and  battered  teams  left  the  field;  the  one,  never  to  gather 
as  a  team  again;  and,  the  other,  openly  acknowledging  that  it  had 
been  through  the  two  hardest  contests  of  its  career.  Even  after  this 
same  36th  Division  team  had  been  defeated  in  the  A.  £.  F  finals  by 
the  famous  89th,  in  a  most  spectacular  and  nerve-racking  game,  they 
still  asserted  that  their  toughest  struggles  were  those  two  contests 
with  the  29th  for  the  football  supremacy  of  the  First  Army  on  the 
gridiron  just  outside  of  Bar-sur-Aube. 

"The  following  officers  and  men  composed  the  division  team  in  the 
more  important  games:  Lieutenant  R.  W.  Parks,  112th  Field 
Artillery,  Sergeant  J.  £.  Frank,  115th  Machine  Gun  Company  and 
Corporal  H.  Fisher,  112th  Field  Artillery,  ends;  Captain  C.  C.  Jar- 
man,  115th  Machine  Gun  Company  back  and  end;  Lieutenant  Wm' 
R.  Christgau,  111th  Field  Artillery,  Major  E.  Brooke  Lee,  115th 
Infantry,  and  Chaplain  Frederic  B.  Withington,  Division  Head- 
quarters, tackles;  Lieutenant  J.  C.  Gill,  110th  Heavy  Field  Artillery 
and  Private  H.  Brown,  114th  Infantry,  guards;  Private  E.  Stover, 
115th  Infantry,  center;  Captain  H.  C.  Ruhl  and  Lieutenant  E.  V. 
Edwards,  115th  Infantry,  quarterbacks;  and  Captain  F.  C.  Mellon, 
115th  Infantry,  Sergeant  Miller,  104ith  Supply  Train,  Sergeant 
Weldon,  112th  Field  Artillery  and  Sergeant  H.  N.  Browne,  115th 
Infantry,  backs. 

"Without  doubt  next  to  football,  boxing  held  the  interest  and 
attention  of  more  men  in  the  division  than  any  other  sport.  It  is  a 
question  whether  it  did  not  even  outdo  football.  Here  again  the 
29th  made  a  great  and  enviable  record,  for  the  boxing  team  under  the 
direction  of  Sergeant  H.  M.  'Spike'  Webb,  accomplished  more  than 
any  other  division  team  in  the  A.  E.  F.  As  early  as  January  14th, 
1919,  the  'Blue  and  Gray'  team  attracted  wide  attention  by  decisively 
winning  every  bout  in  a  contest  arranged  for  them  with  French 
fighters  in  Paris.  ^  Up  to  that  time  the  American  teams  had  experi- 
enced much  difficulty  in  winning  a  majority  of  their  bouts  with  the 
French  boxers. 

^  The  morning  after  the  fight  with  the  French  champioos  Colonel  Minnigerode»  who  had 
been  made  Divisional  Entertainment  Officer  (S.O.  8,  par.  2,  8  Jan.  18)  received  the 
following  laconic,  but  eloquent,  telegram  from  Sergeant  Webb:  "Nine  fighta,  nine 
victories,  five  knockouts."  The  delight  of  the  division  at  this  signal  victory  was  as 
great  as  was  General  Morton's,  who  had  his  picture  taken  surrounded  by  the  victors, 
upon  their  return  to  Bourbonne-les-Bains. 

[  252  ] 


''SNAP  IT  UP'' 

"On  the  night  of  February  13th,  the  boxers  christened  the  new 
hangar  at  Montigny-sur-Aube,  by  winning  a  victory  over  a  picked 
group  of  men  from  the  8th  Corps  Troops,  the  81st  Division,  and 
G.  H.  Q.  'Young'  Ahearn,  'Jesse'  Hohnan,  'Billie'  Kelly,  and  'L.' 
Thomas  won  their  bouts;  while  'Jack'  Shelton  gained  a  draw  and 
'Ritz'  Walters  lost  on  a  decision. 

"A  month  later  after  the  Division  championships  had  been  deter- 
mined, the  team  composed  of  the  following  men  in  their  respective 
classes:  'Young'  Bennett,  116  pounds;  'Young'  Ahearn,  125  pounds; 
'Jesse'  Hohnan,  135  pounds;  'Jack'  Shelton,  145  pounds;  'Ritz* 
Walters,  160  pounds;  'Bill'  Henners,  175  pounds;  and  Greorge  Ashe, 
unlimited,  made  a  clean  sweep  of  the  81st  Division  team  and  won 
the  right  to  enter  the  Finals  of  the  First  Army  Championships,  where 
Corporal  Hohnan,  and  Private  Walters  earned  their  places  on  the 
First  Army  Team,  through  their  victories,  and  the  privilege  to 
compete  in  the  A.  £.  F.  Championships  in  Paris. 

"Sergeant  Webb  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  First  Army  Team 
and  instructed  to  train  them  for  the  bi^  championships.  Hohnan 
was  put  out  in  the  semi-finals  of  the  Paris  Tournament  in  the  light- 
weight class,  while  Walters  fought  his  way  to  the  Finals,  where  illness 
robbed  him  of  any  chance  of  victory  against  the  very  clever  and 
experienced  'Jackie'  Clarke,  representing  the  Second  Anny. 

"An  honor  was  paid  the  Division  when  Sergeant  Webb  was  asked 
to  remain  in  France  after  the  Division  had  sailed,  and  help  prepare 
the  American  Team  for  the  Inter-AUied  Championships.  This  was 
indicative  of  the  reputation  the  Division  boxers  had  made  by  their 
success  in  their  many  contests." 

Space  forbids  a  more  detailed  description  of  the  athletics  in 
the  division.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  nothing  showed  more  con- 
clusively the  spirit  of  the  "Blue  and  Gray"  Division  than  the 
enthusiasm  and  interest  with  which  every  contest,  of  whatever 
kindy  in  which  the  division,  or  any  of  its  units,  participated,  was 
regarded. 

''Snap  It  Up'\ 

Of  the  many  soldier  shows,  the  29th  Division's  "Snap  It 
Up'*  was  declared  by  the  Paris  edition  of  the  New  York  Herald 
to  be  the  premier  soldier  show  of  the  A.E.F.  The  troupe  had  been 
organized  at  Camp  McClellan.*  Upon  General  Morton's  return 
from  France  in  1017,  he  commissioned  Captain  Murray  A.  Cobb, 
his  aide,  to  make  a  survey  of  the  division  for  men  having  theatrical 
talent.  Sergeant  Alexander  W.  Porter,  Corporal  Harold  A. 
Heberle,  Corporal  Richard  W.  Kirschbaum  and  Musician  Ray

HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY  NINTH  DIVISION 

Leavitt  were  detailed  to  assemble  all  available  talent.  In  Febru- 
ary, IOI89  they  put  on  the  first  vaudeville  show  at  Camp 
McClellan,  out  of  which  grew  the  well  organized  and  flourishing 
"Snap  It  Up''  troupe  of  the  29th  Division,  A.E.F.  While  the 
artillery  was  separated  from  the  rest  of  the  division,  the  troupe 
was  somewhat  handicapped,  but  as  the  majority  of  the  per- 
formers were  from  the  112th  Field  Artillery  they  reorganized 
while  at  Meucon,  and  scored  an  immediate  success.  There  it 
was  that  the  men  who  had  organized  the  original  vaudeville 
troupe  in  the  United  States  wrote  the  numbers  and  staged  the 
elaborate  and  entertaining  production,  "Snap  It  Up,"  which 
afterwards  traveled  throughout  the  area  of  the  First  Army,  and 
played  at  Chaumont,  before  General  Pershing.  They  later 
staged  a  first  and  a  return  engagement  in  Paris,  and,  indeed, 
became  so  popular  they  were  called  upon  to  give  a  performance  at 
the  port  of  embarkation,  and  even  on  the  Powhatan  while  return- 
ing to  the  United  States.^ 

Leave  Details. 

The  Allied  armies  early  had  learned  the  necessity  for  granting 
leaves  of  absence  in  order  that  officers  and  men  might  not  only 
have  some  relief  from  their  exacting  duties  at  the  front,  but  also 
would  be  able  to  look  forward  to  a  definite  day  when  the  monotony 
of  the  service  would  be  broken  by  a  leave.  The  American  Army 
adopted  that  plan  in  theory,  but  in  practice  never  developed  it 
as  had  the  other  armies.  The  American  officer  was  too  intent 
upon  his  own  work  to  stop,  unless  it  was  absolutely  necessary, 
while  to  go  on  leave  in  the  face  of  a  big  battle  or  while  his  division 
was  at  the  front  would,  he  thought,  seem  too  much  like  "quitting 
under  fire."  Just  the  contrary  was  true  of  the  other  armies.  An 
Englishman  or  Frenchman,  when  his  regular  time  for  leave  came, 
would  not  hesitate  to  go,  even  though  his  unit  were  at  that 
moment  advancing  into  battle.    The  periods  of  leave  for  them 

^  Even  the  breakmg  up  of  the  divinoo  at  Newport  News  did  not  mean  that  the  theatrical 
troupe  waa  a  thing  of  the  past.  One  week  after  discharse,  the  troupe  reassembled  at 
Newark,  N.  J.,  and  on  July  16th,  1918,  opened  for  a  wed's  performance  at  the  Broad 
Street  Tlieatre,  that  city.  They  were  reod ved  with  open  arms,  and  played  to  capacity 
business.  From  Newark,  the  troupe  took  "Snap  It  Up"  to  Baltimore,  Washington, 
Hainfield,  Red  Bank,  Long  Branch,  Asbuiy  Park,  finally  closing  at  Atlantic  City. 
There  were  many  offers  from  big  time  producers  who  wanted  to  continue  the  tour, 
but  the  members  of  the  troupe  were  not  professional  actors,  and  had  been  away  so 
long  that  they  pined  for  home.  Consequently,  the  troupe  dbbanded  at  the  ocean 
resort. 

[254] 


LEAVE  DETAILS 

were  arranged  automatically  and  thus  precluded  any  improper  ' 
inferences  being  drawn.    Then,  too,  especially  in  the  higher  staff 
positions,  it  enabled  the  next  in  line  to  discharge  temporarily  the 
duties  of  the  higher  position  and  thereby  broadened  and  prepared 
the  better  a  number  of  officers. 

It  was  not  until  after  the  Armistice  that  the  American  officers 
began  to  take  leaves  whenever  they  could  get  them»  or  that  big 
leave  centers  for  the  men  were  developed.  On  December  6th, 
1918,  the  first  leave  detail  from  the  29th  Division^  composed  of 
some  1200  men,  went  by  special  train  to  Aix-les-Bains.  There- 
after regular  details  were  sent  to  Grenoble,  Lamalou-les-Bains, 
Menton  and  Nice.  Opportunity  thus  was  afforded  for  change, 
healthful  recreation  and  enjoyment.  The  travel  itself  had 
definite  educational  value  for  officers  and  men.  The  leave  parties, 
made  up  of  a  percentage  of  each  command,  would  go  by  special 
train.  All  expenses  of  travel  and  accommodation  while  away 
were  paid.  As  might  be  expected  the  arrangement  was  most 
popular. 

Although  every  effort  was  made  to  keep  the  men  fit  and  happy, 
yet  the  facts  are  that  life  in  the  training  area  was  more  or  less  of 
a  bore,  say  what  one  will.  The  war  was  over,  the  men  wanted  to 
get  home,  and  the  round  of  athletics  and  amusements  did  not 
offset  the  equally  constant  round  of  manoeuvers  and  the  more 
constant  round  of  road  building  in  the  mud.  In  fact,  the  road 
details  came  to  be  the  bane  of  everyone's  existence.

CHAPTER  XXXni. 

THE  EDUCATIONAL  PROGRAM — CHAPLAINS  AND  RELIGIOUS  ACTIVITIES- 
OFFICERS  AND  MEN   SENT  TO  GERMANY  AND  TO   POLAND. 


General  headquarters,  during  the  period  of  waiting,  seized  the 
opportimity  of  giving  the  members  of  the  A.E.F.  unusual  educa- 
tional advantages.  Officers  and  men  were  sent  to  various  English 
and  French  imiversities,  such  as  Oxford  and  Cambridge,  Bordeaux, 
Sarbonne,  Toulouse  and  Lyon  Universities.  Courses  were  offered 
in  general  subjects  and  in  medicine,  science  and  law.  In  addition, 
officers  and  men  were  sent  to  the  A.E.F.  University  at  Beaune, 
which  had  been  established  by  the  educational  authorities  of  the 
army.  For  the  men  who  could  not  take  this  university  training, 
either  because  of  the  lack  of  facilities  or  because  of  their  own  lack 
of  preliminary  preparation,  schools  were  established  in  every  unit 
throughout  the  division.  Each  unit  appointed  its  own  school 
officers.  The  various  welfare  organizations  rendered  valuable 
assistance  and  co-operation. 

In  the  20th  Division,  educational  work  had  been  begun 
originally  by  the  Y.M.C.A.  at  Camp  McClellan,  but  those  efforts 
were  feeble  in  the  extreme  when  compared  with  those  in  the 
A.E.F.  after  New  Year's,  1919.  On  January  7th,  Chaplain  Hare 
was  appointed  Division  School  Officer,  in  addition  to  his  duties 
as  Division  Chaplain.  Assisted  by  Mr.  E.  A.  Smith,  Educational 
Director  of  the  Y.M.C.A.,  who  had  been  a  county  school  super- 
intendent in  Virginia,  he  soon  organized  a  flourishing  school 
system.  School  officers  were  named  in  each  regiment  and  separate 
unit,  and  on  January  18th,  the  first  report  showed  7  schools  and  50 
instructors  with  an  attendance  of  267.  Two  weeks  later  the 
report  showed  44  schools  and  22  instructors,  with  an  attendance 
of  1 ,633.  The  lack  of  books  and  other  facilities  somewhat  retarded 
the  functioning  of  the  schools  in  the  beginning.  It  was  also 
extremely  difficult  to  keep  efficient  instructors,  because  they  were 
either  detailed  for  service  higher  up  in  the  educational  system, 
or,  themselves  desired  the  privilege  of  attending  one  of  the  foreign 
universities.  By  the  end  of  March,  however,  the  number  of 
schools  had  reached  47,  and  the  enrollment  showed  155  instructors 
and  an  attendance  of  2,955.

CHAPLAINS  ANDJtELIGlOUS  ACTIVITIES 

On  April  19th,  when  the  schools  were  discontinued  preparatory 
to  the  return  home  of  the  division,  the  following  interesting  facts 
were  reported  by  the  Division  School  Officer:  The  first  survey 
made  January  7th  had  shown  977  soldiers  in  the  division  who 
could  neither  read  nor  write  the  English  language,  and  of  that 
number  594,  or  2.S3  of  the  strength  of  the  division,  could  not 
read  or  write  any  language.  Many  who  could  not  read  or  write 
English,  however,  were  proficient  in  their  own  tongue.  At  the 
close  of  the  schools  few,  if  any,  were  unable  to  read  and  write 
English.  In  the  fifteen  weeks  of  the  school  course,  the  number 
of  instructors  had  grown  from  SO  to  160,  schools  from  7  to  47, 
and  the^attendance^from  267  to  8,283.  In  all,  33  officers  and 
soldiers  werQ,  sent  to  English  Universities,  140  to  French  Uni- 
versities, 137  to  the  A.E.F.  University,  and  200  to  the  farm  school 
at  Allery. 

Chaplains  and  Religious  Activities. 

No  account  of  the  educational  program  or  of  the  general  work 
for  the  happiness  and  welfare  of  the  men  would  be  complete  with- 
out reference  to  the  chaplains  of  the  division.  Whether  during 
the  days  of  battle,  or  in  the  days  of  armistice,  whether  as  spiritual 
advisers  or  as  teachers  in  the  schools,  whether  as  athletic  officers 
or  mess  officers,  or  in  the  discharge  of  any  other  duty,  the  chap- 
lains met  fully  every  demand  upon  them.  They  were  men  who 
lived  religion  among  men.  Probably,  never  before  was  so  much 
sti*ess  put  upon  the  value  of  morale  as  was  the  case  in  this  war. 
It  was  a  crusade,  and  nothing  could  better  preserve  the  crusader's 
spirit  than  an  opportunity  for  the  observance  of  his  religious 
customs.  So  it  was  that  the  religious  life  of  the  nation  was 
mobilized  and  a  chaplain  furnished  every  organization  in  the 
country.  Men  of  every  creed  and  faith  were  given  ministration 
wherever  possible  by  chaplains  who  represented  all  creeds  and 
faiths.  In  common  with  men  in  many  other  departments  in  the 
army,  they  did  not  have  at  all  times  the  equipment  which  was 
desirable,  nor  had  the  organization  of  their  corps  been  perfected 
when  the  division  first  was  formed.  This  defect,  however,  was 
cured  later,  and  a  senior  chaplain  was  provided  to  co-ordinate 
the  religious  work  in  the  division,  when,  on  July  22, 1918,  General 
Morton  named  Captain  James  Madison  Hare,  Chaplain  of  the 
104th  Engineers,  to  this  post.    This  appointment  was  later  con- 

[  257  1 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

firmed  by  orders  from  General  Headquarters.     Chaplain  Hare 
achieved  his  work  of  co-ordination  with  splendid  success. 

If  there  were  men  in  the  division  who  had  not  previously 
recognized  the  courage,  manhood  and  devotion  to  duty  of  our 
chaplains,  they  did  not  fail  to  realize  it  fully  after  having  seen 
them  in  the  stress  of  battle,  going,  without  thought  of  themselves, 
wherever  duty  called.  A  wounded  man  requiring  attention  or  a 
soldier  fallen  for  his  country,  to  be  buried*  where  he  lay,  were 
calls  never  left  unanswered,  regardless  of  the  circumstances.  The 
quality  of  the  chaplains'  services  during  the  period  of  battle  is 
attested  by  the  casualty  list:  the  second  week  of  the  drive  took 
a  toll  of  one-third  of  the  numerical  strength  of  the  chaplains  in 
the  division.  Their  unselfish  and  courageous  performance  of  duty 
in  those  dangerous  days  is  fittingly  told  in  the  following  beautiful 
word-picture  from  the  pen  of  Mr.  Harold  C.  Warren,*  of  the 
Y.M.C.A.  who  thus  describes  the  last  hour  of  Chaplain  Bulla, 
of  the  116  Infantry,  mortally  wounded  on  the  field  of  battle:' 

*'Into  our  advanced  dressing  station  one  day  there  limped  a  young 
fellow  with  a  machine  gun  wound  through  his  knee.  Refusing  the 
aid  of  litter  bearers,  he  had  hobbled  three  miles  through  the  forest 
in  the  direction  of  our  station.  And  there  he  stoically  stood  while 
his  leg  was  dressed  and  the  anti-tetanus  serum  was  injected.  I 
offered  him  a  tempting  bit  of  chocolate.  He  shook  his  head  and  said 
'Give  it  to  some  one  that's  hurt  bad.'  I  had  almost  to  force  him  to 
take  it.  Directed  to  a  waiting  ambulance,  he  declined  the  trip  to 
the  hospital.    He  insisted  upon  returning  to  his  duty. 

"  'I'm  not  done  for  yet,'  he  said.  'I  came  over  here  to  soldier, 
and  damned  if  I  don't  soldier.  If  the  good  Lord  will  only  let  me  get 
that  ammunition  train  through,  that's  all  I  ask  of  Him.' 

"And  so  there  was  a  great  deal  of  praying  at  the  front.    It  might 

not  have  passed  as  such  back  home  in  some  church  circles.    But 
it  rang  true  out  there — ^rough  and  ready  prayers  of  rugged  men  who 

'When  Colonel  Kelley  assumed  command  of  the  116th  Infantry  he  directed  that  all 
those  members  of  the  116th  Infantry  who  fell  on  the  field  of  iMittle  should  be  buried 
in  one  plot,  just  south  of  the  Bois  de  Consenvoye.  At  night  the  chaplains  odI- 
lected  the  bodies  from  the  battlefield  and,  after  making  the  necessary  records  and 
identifications  interred  each  with  suitable  religious  ceremonies.  No  man  of  the 
116th  Infantry  was  buried  where  he  fell  after  Ckitober  11.  Later,  the  chaplains  of 
the  115ih  Infantry  and  the  112th  Machine  Gun  Battalion  adopted  the  same  plan 
in  their  units,  with  the  result  that  the  plot  selected  by  Colonel  Kelley  became  the 
burying  place  for  the  entire  58th  Brigade.

'  Chaplain  Bulla  was  hit  by  a  "dud"  while  in  the  front  line  during  the  advance  of  his 
regiment  against  the  MoUeville  Farm.

OUR  CHAPLAINS 

found  themselves  up  against  it.  Those  who  had  so  lately  profaned 
Christ's  name  in  thoughtless  moments  of  soldier  life,  now  pronounced 
it  with  a  new  accent. 

"  'For  Christ's  sake»  give  me  a  cigarette!'  The  chaplain  and 
I,  standing  near,  started  at  these  words  which  rang  through  the  dug- 
out one  evening.  They  might  have  sounded  like  blasphemy  in 
reality  they  were  words  of  prayer.  The  man  who  uttered  them,  little 
more  than  a  boy,  had  been  shot  deep  in  the  back,  and  was  lying  on 
his  stomach  on  a  stretcher.  Having  anticipated  his  call,  I  was  just 
then  lighting  and  puffing  on  a  cigarette,  which  I  presently  placed 
between  the  lips  of  the  tortured  soldier.  Then  we  heard  his  sigh  of 
relief  and — TThanks.    I'm  better  now.' 

"  *Mr.  Secretary,*  said  the  chaplain,  *I  believe  you  helped  to 
answer  a  real  prayer  then.  For  surely  the  One  who  declared,  'inasmuch 
as  ye  do  it  unto  one  of  the  least  of  these  . "  must  recognize 

in  the  simplest  entreaty  which  a  suffering  soldier  of  Liberty  offers 
in  His  name  a  genuine  prayer.' 

"The  chaplain,  a  few  minutes  before,  had  helped  to  bring  this 
boy  and  another  on  stretchers  to  the  dugout.  He  had  gone  him- 
self alone  into  No  Man's  Land  and  rescued  them  from  their  perilous 
position  where  they  had  been  lying  wounded  since  early  in  the  day. 
Now  he  stood  there,  his  uniform  muddy  and  torn,  leaning  wearily 
against  the  wall.  His  eyes  were  heavy  for  sleep,  yet  he  was  watching 
every  motion  as  the  skilful  fingers  of  the  surgeon  cleaned  and  dressed 
the  wounds.  He  inquired  about  the  boys'  chances  for  recovery. 
Reassured  on  this  point,  he  addressed  himself  poUtely  to  the  doctor. 
Always  the  faultless  Southern  gentleman,  even  the  heavy  pounding 
of  the  guns  and  the  shock  of  war's  grim  scenes  could  not  joggle  him 
from  his  accustomed  courtesy.  He  saluted  and  in  his  careful  drawl 
announced: 

**  'And  now,  Captain,  if  you  will  excuse  me,  I  think  I  will  go  back 
and  try  to  find  some  more.' 

'*We  shaded  our  candles,  as  he  opened  the  door  and  stepi>ed  out 
into  the  dark.  There  was  a  low  whistle  from  one  of  the  ambulance 
men.  'Say,'  he  exclained,  'some  man,  that!  I've  always  said  that 
fellow  was  a  prince.    Now  I'll  tell  the  world  he's  a  gentleman.' 

"Two  nights  later  the  chaplain  came  again  into  the  dressing 
station.  This  time  he  was  carried  on  a  stretcher.  Once  more  he 
had  gone  out  on  his  perilous  errand  or  mercy  to  rescue  one  of  our 
boys.  When  he  failed  to  return,  others,  who  loved  him  for  his  quiet 
manliness,  had  gone  to  search  for  him.  And  now  he  lay  there  in  a 
pool  of  blood.  His  leg  was  gone;  his  frame  was  shattered;  his  life 
was  a  matter  of  minutes,  and  he  knew  it.  But  his  courage  was  strong; 
his  faith  was  unshaken;  and  he  was  smiling,  this  Christian  gentleman 

I  250  1 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

who  was  not  afraid  to  die^  He  thanked  every  one  particularly  for 
the  efforts  to  ease  his  pain.  He  seemed  to  be  waving  a  cheery  fare- 
well, as  he  peered  around  through  the  flickering  candle  light  at  the 
anxious  faces  and  called  several  of  the  boys  by  name. 

''Then  reaching  for  the  doctor's  hand  he  said :  'And  now,  Captain, 
I  must  be  leaving  you.    Good-bye.    God's  will  be  done.' 

"And  so  the  knightly  spirit  carried  on. 

"Somewhere  in  the  South  there  are  aching  hearts,  I  know;  but 
blessed  with  a  sacred  love.  And  many  a  thoughtful  American  lad 
is  missing  this  man  of  the  regiment;  yet  still  Living  and  growing  in 
manhood  under  his  influence.  And  I  carry  always  this  souvenir — 
the  memory  of  God's  Gentleman." 

Chaplains  Alfriend,  of  the  116th,  and  Smith,  of  the  114th 
Infantries,  also  had  to  be  evacuated  on  account  of  influenza  con- 
tracted from  exposure  to  gas.  For  their  services  in  the  days  of 
battle  Chaplain  Hare  and  Chaplain  Corr  were  awarded  the  Croix 
de  Guerre. 

As  illustrative  of  the  fine  spirit  of  religious  unity  that  prevailed 
in  the  division,  Chaplain  Hare  tells  of  a  communion  service  on 
Sunday,  November  9th,  participated  in  by  five  chaplains,  a 
Congregationalist,  a  Baptist,  a  Disciple,  a  Presbyterian  and  a 
Unitarian,  and  by  men  from  twenty- two  states,  representing  ten 
denominations.  In  the  words  of  the  Chaplain:  "having  fought 
and  served  together,  they  found  no  diflSculty  in  communing 
together.  When  the  churches  of  America  do  likewise,  then  will 
that  section  of  the  Lord's  Prayer  *Thy  Kingdom  Come,*  be 
answered.** 

Some  idea  of  the  religious  activities  of  the  division  may  be  had 
from  the  following  table  in  the  report  of  the  senior  chaplain  for  a 
single  month : 

Week  Day  Services 110        Attendance 11,106 

Sunday  Services 178        Attendance 23,645 


Total  Services 288        Attendance 34,761 

Officers  and  Men  Sent  to  Germany  and  to  Poland. 

Among  the  opportunities  for  service  which  the  new  year 
brought  to  some  of  the  oflScers  and  men  of  the  division,  none  was 
more  interesting  probably  than  the  detail  in  the  early  days  of 
February  of  one  field  oflScer,  one  line  oflBcer  and  one  oflBcer  of  the

OFFICERS  SENT  TO  POLAND 

Quartermaster  Corps,  to  be  commanding  officer,  adjutant  and 
quartermaster,  respectively,  of  a  Russian  prisoner-of-war  camp 
in  Germany.  Because  of  the  fear  then  entertained  by  all  of  the 
allied  governments  of  an  increase  in  the  Bolshevik  forces  if  the 
Russian  prisoners  of  war  in  Germany  were  released,  camps  were 
maintained  for  them  by  the  Allies.  These  camps  were  maintained 
by  a  German  personnel  and  administered  by  officers  and  men  from 
the  allied  armies.  Lieutenant-Colonel  C.  R.  W.  Morison,  115th 
Infantry,  1st  Lieutenants  Walter  J.  Fallows,  110th  Machine  Gun 
Battalion  and  Herschel  A.  Long,  Q.M.C.,  Division  Headquarters, 
and  100  non-commissioned  officers  and  privates  were  sent  on  this 
detail.^ 

Another  opportunity  for  interesting  service  came  when  orders 
were  received  directing  the  detail  of  certain  officers  and  men  to 
accompany  General  Haller's  Polish  troops  through  Germany  to 
their  native  country.*  The  following  officers  and  men  were  sent: 
Majors  Walter  E.  Guthrie,  114th  Infantry,  Thornton  P.  Rogers, 
115th  Infantry,  Lewis  C.  Vogt,  110th  Field  Artillery,  W.  W.

k  PICKED  BATTAUON  OF  THE  29tH  PASSES  IN  REVIEW  BEFORE  PRESIDENT 

WILSON   IN  FRANCE — GENERAL  PERSHING  REVIEWS  THE 

DIVISION — THE   116th   INFANTRY  REVIEWED 

BT  FIELD  MARSHAL  SIR  DOUGLAS  HAIG. 


The  historic  friendship  existing  between  France  and  America 
since  the  United  States  first  became  "free  and  independent** 
furnishes  no  counter-part  to  the  scene  which  was  staged  just  out- 
side of  the  old  French  town  of  Langres,  on  Christmas  Day,  1918, 
when  the  President  of  the  United  States  of  America  reviewed  a 
body  of  United  States  troops  on  foreign  soil !  The  opportunity  of 
participating  in  that  ceremony  came  as  a  Christmas  present  to  a 
limited  few  who  were  so  fortunate  as  to  be  actors  in  an  historic 
drama,  the  like  of  which  doubtless  no  living  man  ever  will  see 
re-enacted. 

Each  division  composing  the  First  Army  was  directed  to  send 
one  battalion.  The  29th  Division  sent  a  provisional  battalion, 
under  the  command  of  Major  £.  Brooke  Lee,  of  the  llSth,  and 
composed  of  Company  A,  llSth  Infantry,  commanded  by  Captain 
LeRoy  E.  Sullivan,  Company  K,  114th  Infantry,  commanded  by 
Captain  Albert  A.  Rickert,  Company  C,  115th  Infantry,  com- 
manded by  Captain  Philip  K.  Moisan,  and  Company  M,  116th 
Infantry,  commanded  by  Captain  A.  D.  Barksdale.  Thus,  each 
infantry  regiment  was  represented  by  one  company.  The  histor- 
ians of  Company  M ,^  116th  Infantry  thus  describe  the  momentous 
event : 

'Two  days  before  Christmas  a  signal  honor  unexpectedly  came  to 
the  company.  It  was  chosen  to  represent  the  regiment  in  the  presi- 
dential review  of  the  First  Army  to  be  held  at  Langres  on  Christmas 
Day.  It  sounded  'Fair,'  and  the  boys  trucked  out  of  Pamot  on 
December  24th  in  good  spirits.  But  as  one  of  them  said  later: 
'We  might  have  known  it.'  The  company  debussed  in  the  rain  at 
Old  Fort  de  Peigny,  outside  of  Langres,  on  Christmas  Eve,  and 
Christmas  morning — 'the  one  morning  of  the  year' — did  a  4:45 
reveille.  This  was  to  enable  the  troops  to  get  on  the  field  three  hours 
before  the  review  and  become  acquainted  with  the  terrain.

GENERAL  PERSHING  REVIEWS  THE  DIVISION 

"However,  after  it  was  over  the  boys  were  glad  to  have  been  there. 
It  was  the  first,  and  perhaps  the  last,  presidential  review  ever  held 
in  France.  The  President  made  a  good  speech  and  General  Pershing 
was  Uiere.  There  were  aeroplanes  and  tanks  to  keep  up  the  excite- 
ment. And  besides  there  was  the  exquisite  fascination  of  trying  to 
keep  a  straight  company  line  while  passing  in  review,  with  the  encb 
of  tne  company  aJtemating  terra  firma  and  mud.  It  no  doubt  gave 
the  President  a  good  idea  of  campaigning  in  France.*' 

General  Morton  and  the  officers  and  men  of  the  division  were 
greatly  pleased  when  the  following  telegram  was  received  the 
next  day: 

"CG  20th  Divn. 

"As  commander  in  chief  I  wish  to  congratulate  the  division  on  the 
splendid  showing  made  by  the  troops  representing  the  division  in 
the  review  given  for  the  President  of  the  United  States  at  Humes, 
France,  December  ^,  1918. 
"480  PM  Pershing.** 

Oeneral  Pershing  Reviews  the  Division. 

On  March  24th,  1919,  the  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  Ameri- 
can Expeditionary  Forces,  accompanied  by  his  staff,  visited  the 
division  for  the  purpose  of  decorating  the  battle  flags  of  the  units 
which  had  seen  battle  service,  and  of  bestowing  upon  the  fortunate 
soldiers  the  medals  and  decorations  that  had  been  awarded  them. 
A  field  near  Fresnes  was  selected  for  the  review.  Early  on  the 
morning  of  the  24th  the  organizations  composing  the  division 
were  astir.  Some  of  them  actually  were  on  the  march  at  early 
dawn,  but  as  this  was  the  first  occasion  on  which  the  entire 
division  had  been  reviewed  by  the  Commander-in-Chief,  every 
individual  was  keenly  anxious  that  General  Pershing  should  be 
made  to  accept  the  division's  estimate  of  itself  as  his  own.  The 
pride  which  the  men  felt  in  the  division  was  eloquently  attested 
by  the  clean  and  polished  equipment;  their  earnest  desire  that 
no  movement  of  theirs  should  mar  the  performance  of  the  division, 
was  evidenced  by  the  soldierly  manner  in  which  they  marched 
erect  through  many  kilometers  of  mud,  and  stood  rigidly  at 
attention  on  the  wet  and  soggy  roads,  while  the  Commander-in- 
Chief  marched  up  and  down  the  silent,  soldierly  ranks. 

To  say  that  General  Pershing  made  a  tremendous  hit  with 
the  average  '"doughboy"  but  faintly  would  describe  the  enthusi- 
asm with  which  his  thorough  inspection  of  the  division  was 

[  268  ] 


HISTORY  OF  THE  TWENTY-NINTH  DIVISION 

received.  The  historians  of  Company  M,  116th  Infantry,  who  by 
reason  of  this  second  experience  had  qualified  as  experts  on 
reviews,  thus  give  their  view  of  it: 

''A  nice  wet  meadow  was  picked  out  as  appropriate  to  the  purpose, 
and  proved  not  as  boggy  as  it  first  looked  for  it  held  the  division  up 
over  six  hours  without  any  more  than  wetting  the  doughboy*s  feet. 
A  few  clouds  fell  out  of  the  sky  and  contributed  the  customary 
moisture.  The  Commander  in  Chief,  however,  made  good  by  getting 
off  his  horse,  and  in  his  fine  shining  boots  took  the  whole  staff  up  and 
down  the  sloppy  fields  between  the  open  rank  platoons.  This  was 
'nuts'  to  the  doughboy.  Afterwards,  the  General  made  a  congratu- 
latory speech." 

The  battle  colors  of  the  regiments  and  of  the  other  units  that 
had  participated  in  the  sector  fighting  from  July  25th  to  Septem- 
ber S3rd,  1918,  and  in  the  Meuse-Argonne  Battle,  from  October 
8tli  to  29th,  were  decorated  with  ribbons,  to  be  replaced  later  by 
silver  bands  bearing  the  record  of  that  service. 

Major-General  Morton  and  Brigadier-General  Upton  had 
Distinguished  Service  Medals  pinned  on  them  by  the  Com- 
mander-in-Chief, who  also  pinned  on  the  soldiers  who  had  been 
awarded  them,  two  Medals  of  Honor,  nineteen  Distinguished 
Service  Crosses,  four  Croix  de  Guerre,  and  the  decorations  of 
Chevalier  of  the  Order  of  Leopold  (of  Belgium),  and  of  Chevalier 
of  the  Order  of  the  Crown  (of  Belgium). 

The  attendant  ceremonies  particularly  were  interesting. 
Before  the  line  of  flags,  upon  which  General  Pershing  pinned  the 
ribbons,  and  in  front  of  the  sea  of  polished  brown  helmets,  the 
soldiers  to  be  decorated,  with  General  Morton  on  the  right,  stood 
facing  General  Pershing.  At  the  word  of  command  the  line 
advanced;  the  division  adjutant  read  out  the  names  and  deeds  of 
those  decorated,  and  the  Commander-in-Chief,  in  an  impressive, 
dignified  manner  pinned  the  medals  upon  the  fortunate  men  and 
congratulated  each  of  them. 

Then  General  Pershing,  accompanied  by  General  Morton, 
inspected  the  division — not  a  man  or  a  horse  escaped  the  eagle 
eye  of  the  Commander-in-Chief.  He  stopped  to  talk  to  all  men 
who  had  on  wound  chevrons,  and  to  many  others.  After  the 
inspection  he  made  a  speech  to  the  officers  and  men  who  were 
formed  around  him  for  the  purpose,  and  in  a  straight-forward, 
simple  manner  thanked  them  in  the  name  of  their  country  for  the 
services  they  had  rendered.

SIR  DOUGLAS  HAIG  REVIEWS  THE  116TH 

Despite  the  weather  conditions,  which  alternated  between 
beautiful  sunshine  and  torrents  of  rain  and  hail,  the  division  made 
a  splendid  showing.  As  the  shadows  of  evening  deepened,  while 
the  long  lines  wended  their  way  to  their  billets,  the  spirits  of  the 
men  were  high — ^not  only  because  their  division  had  acquitted 
itself  well,  as  their  Commander-in-Chief  himself  had  told  them, 
but  also  because  the  inspection  carried  with  it  the  reasonable 
hope  of  an  early  return  home. 

The  116th  Reviewed  by  Field  Marshal  Sir  Douglas  Haig. 

An  unusual  honor  fell  to  the  116th  Infantry  when,  on  April 
4th,  it  was  selected  to  participate  in  a  ceremony  at  General 
Headquarters,  Chaumont,  Prance,  at  which  Field  Marshal  Sir 
Douglas  Haig  presented  English  medals  and  decorations  to  certain 
American  officers  and  men.  The  review  of  the  regiment — 
representing  the  American  Army — was  a  part  of  the  ceremony. 
The  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  British  Army  was  accompanied 
by  the  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  American  Expeditionary 
Forces,  and  by  British  and  American  army  commanders.  Headed 
by  General  Pershing's  Headquarters  Band,  the  regiment  marched 
in  review  before  the  distinguished  commanders  and  made  a 
splendid  showing.  The  commanding  officer,  Colonel  George  W. 
Ball,  and  the  officers  and  men,  of  the  regiment  were  greatly 
pleased  at  the  obviously  sincere  remarks  of  the  British  Comman- 
der-in-Chief, who  complimented  them  highly  on  their  splendid 
showing.  The  entire  division,  in  fact,  was  greatly  pleased  at  the 
signal  honor  paid  it  when  one  of  its  regiments  was  selected  to 
participate  in  this  historic  and  interesting  ceremony.

CHAPTER  XXXV. 


MOVINO  OBDERS  AND  HOBfE — THE  BLUE  AND  ORAT  DIVISION 

PASSES  INTO  HISTORY. 


Having  passed  to  the  control  of  the  Commanding  General, 
S.O.S.,  the  previous  day,  the  division,  on  April  6,  1919\  was 
relieved  from  duty  with  the  8th  Corps  and  the  First  Army. 

On  the  day  following,  orders'  were  issued  from  division  head- 
quarters which  brought  joy  and  hope  to  the  hearts  of  all;  each 
unit  of  the  division  was  directed  to  send  advanced  billeting 
parties  to  Ballon,  Sarthe,  to  arrange  for  billets  in  the  Le  Mans 
area.  This  was  the  beginning  of  the  end.  On  April  12th,  orders 
were  issued,  officially  closing  division  headquarters  at  Bourbonne-' 
les-Bains. 

The  division  then  moved  to  the  Le  Mans  area  to  have  the 
routine  inspections  of  the  personnel,  property  and  records  which 
had  to  be  satisfactory  before  a  division  sailed.  Every  officer  and 
man  gave  his  best  efforts  to  the  work  of  preparation  and  did  it 
so  well,  thanks  to  the  care  and  efficiency  with  which  the  records 
of  the  entire  division  had  been  kept,  that  the  29th  took  the  place 
of  another  division  that  was  scheduled  for  earlier  sailing  but  was 
unable  to  put  its  records  promptly  in  order. 

The  past  months  had  seen  several  changes  in  the  personnel  of 
the  commanding  officers  of  various  units.  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Charles  B.  Finley  had  been  assigned  to  the  command  of  the 
113th  Infantry  when  Lieutenant-Colonel  Fitzhugh  L.  Minni- 
gerode  was  appointed  Welfare  Officer*  of  the  division.  Later, 
upon  promotion  to  a  full  colonelcy.  Colonel  Finley  was  assigned  to 
the  permanent  command  of  that  regiment.^  Lieutenant-Colonel 
D.  John  Markey,  who  had  commanded  the  112th  Machine  Gun 
Battalion  since  its  organization,  was  assigned  as  lieutenant- 
colonel  of  the  114th.^

MOVING  ORDERS  AND  HOME 


Just  before  the  division  sailed  Major  W,  E,  Selbie,  General 
Staff,  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff,  G-2,  was  ordered  to  the  7th  Divi- 
sion.^ Lieutenant-Colonel  Markey  was  transferred  to  the  115th 
as  second  in  command  of  that  regiment,  and  Lieutenant-Colonel 
Minnigerode,  later  promoted  colonel,  was  assigned  to  the  command 
of  the  116th.^  On  April  26,  Major  Thomas  Armstrong,  having 
received  his  long  overdue  promotion,  was  assigned  to  command  his 
old  organization,  the  104th  Field  Signal  Battalion.' 

Lieutenant-Colonel  Walter  V.  Shipley,  formerly  of  the  Mary- 
land National  Guard,  in  addition  to  his  other  duties  as  Quarter- 
master, was  appointed  G-1,*  upon  the  relief  of  Lieutenant-Colonel 
John  C.  French,  General  Staff,  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff  G-1. 
Colonel  French  had  been  assigned  to  duty  as  regulating  officer  at 
Liffol-le-Grande.  By  the  same  order^  Lieutenant  C.  C.  MacLeod 
was  appointed  A.D.C.  to  General  Morton. 

After  a  short  stay  in  the  Le  Mans  Area  where  the  necessary 
inspections  were  soon  completed,  the  entire  division,  with  the 
exception  of  a  few  men*  from  division  headquarters  who  had  to 
remain  behind  to  straighten  out  some  final  details,  sailed  from 
St.  Nazaire,  on  the  dates  and  ships  indicated,  and  landed  in  the 
United  States  at  the  ports  named :

Arriving  in*  the  United  States  the  organizations  were  ordered 
to  the  camps  most  convenient  for  their  muster  out.  It  is  not  for 
us  to  follow  the  various  units  to  their  homes.  With  its  departure 
from  France  the  division  ceased  to  exist  as  an  administrative 
unit,  and  the  history  of  the  division,  as  such,  necessarily  must 
end  with  the  departure  of  the  various  units. 

Just  before  the  division  disbanded  General  Morton  issued  the 
following  General  Orders: 

"Headquarters  29th  Division 
American  E.  F. 
20  April  1919 
'"General  Orders, 
No.  13 

''1.  The  29th  Division,  which  began  its  official  existence  25  August 
1917  is  now  about  to  be  dissolved.  From  a  large  number  of  National 
Guard  organizations  with  superb  material  but  with  little  training  or 
discipline  it  has  become  a  perfectly  trained,  organized  and  disciplined 
fighting  machine,  which  can  at  any  time  be  put  into  any  military 
situation  without  anxiety  as  to  the  result. 

'The  record  of  the  division  during  the  year  and  a  half  of  its  history 
has  been  superb.  At  Camp  McClellan,  Alabama,  the  organization 
of  the  division  was  perfected,  its  discipline  brought  up  to  high  stand- 
ard and  its  training  made  effective.  Those  who  were  not  considered 
up  to  a  proper  professional  or  physical  standard  were  eliminated. 
The  division  thus  formed  was  embarked  for  France  in  June,  1918,  and 

[  268  ] 


I.  IIANCBUBU. 


THE  BLUE  AND  GRAY  DIVISION  PASSES  INTO  HISTORY 

with  but  little  delay  was  placed  in  the  trenches  facing  foes  with  four 
years  war  training  behind  them.  During  the  two  months  spent  in 
the  trenches  the  dUvision  received  its  baptism  of  fire.  Immediately 
upon  leaving  the  trenches  it  was  transferred  to  the  First  American 
Army  and  entered  the  great  fight  of  the  war,  the  Meuse-Argonne 
Offensive,  where  it  stayed  on  the  line  almost  as  many  days  as  any 
division  in  the  army.  Its  behavior  in  this  great  fight  brought  com- 
mendation from  the  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  American  Army, 
from  the  Commander  of  the  First  Army,  from  the  French  Army 
Corps  Commander  under  whom  it  served,  and  from  all  others  under 
whose  notice  it  came. 

''Withdrawn  from  action  but  a  few  days  before  the  armistice  was 
signed,  the  division  was  placed  into  winter  billets  where  under 
adverse  conditions  of  cold,  rain,  snow  and  mud  it  still  maintained 
the  same  superb  discipline  for  which  it  has  been  famous. 

''The  fallen  will  have  the  honor  of  the  great  country  which  sent 
'  them  forth  to  battle  for  human  freedom  and  of  their  comrades  in 
arms. 

"And  now  on  the  eve  of  returning  home,  the  division  commander 
desires  to  thank  every  officer  and  man  for  the  magnificent  work  that 
has  been  done  and  to  wish  for  each  one  long  life,  he^th  and  prosperity 
wherever  he  may  go. 

"C.  G.  MOBTON, 

Major  Greneral,  U.  S.  Army, 

Commanding/* 

General  Morton,  upon  landing  in  the  United  States,  imme- 
diately was  designated  to  command  the  Department  of  Hawaii. 
The  officers  of  the  Regular  Army  on  duty  with  the  division  were 
given  other  assignments,  while  the  remaining  officers  and  men  were 
mustered  out  of  the  military  service  and  again  became  private 
citizens. 

The  Blue  and  Gray  Division  Passes  Into  History. 

Thus  passed  into  history  the  29th — the  "Blue  and  Gray" — 
Division.  The  40,000  or  more  "free  and  independent"  and  highly 
individualistic  citizens  of  the  United  States  of  America,  who  had 
freely  submitted  to  army  discipline  and  training  in  order  to  accom- 
plish a  great  purpose,  that  purpose  accomplished,  now  resumed 
their  former  status.  Not  a  man  of  them  but  was  a  better  citizen 
that  moment  than  ever  before.  Not  a  man  of  them  but  had  some- 
thing inexpressibly  big  to  carry  back  with  him  to  his  commimity — 
a  something  gained  by  suffering,  by  hardship  and  by  contact  with

the  eternal  verities.  In  going  forth  to  war,  he  had  done  his  duty 
by  his  community,  by  his  country.  Would  his  community,  his 
country,  do  its  duty  by  him  upon  his  return?  Upon  the  answer 
to  that  question  will  depend  whether  the  spirit  which  was  the 
spirit  of  the  "Blue  and  Gray"  Division  will  be  transfused  into  the 
daily  life  of  our  country,  helping  to  purify  and  strengthen  it,  or 
whether  another  of  the  big  things  which  the  war  offered  America 
will  be  thrown  aside  in  the  chase  after  more  material  things. 

We  shall  not  attempt  to  sum  up  the  effect  of  the  operations 
of  the  29th  Division  on  the  general  plans  of  the  higher  com- 
manders. That  is  not  the  province  of  a  division  historian.  We 
shall  content  ourselves  with  recording  the  estimate  of  the  division 
held  by  the  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  American  Expeditionary 
Forces,  and  end  this  book  by  quoting  the  following  letter  contain- 
ing his  congratulations  and  thanks.  For  with  what  word  could 
the  history  of  an  American  unit  in  the  world  war  more  fittingly  be 
closed  than  with  the  name  of  the  writer  of  this  letter? 

''American  Expeditionary  Forces 
Office  of  the  Commander-in-Chief 

France,  April  2,  1919. 
*'Major  General  Charles  6.  Morton, 
Commanding  29th  Division, 
American  E.  F. 

''My  dear  General  Morton: 

''It  gives  me  great  pleasure  to  extend  to  you  and  the  officers  and 
men  of  the  29th  Division  my  compliments  upon  the  showing  made 
iLt  the  review  and  inspection  on  March  24th,  and  at  the  same  time 
to  commend  all  ranks  for  the  services  they  have  rendered  while  in 
France. 

"Though  brief,  your  fighting  record  is  one  of  which  all  may  be 
proud.  Arriving  in  France  late  in  June,  1918,  the  division's  period  of 
training  behind  the  line  was  cut  short  and  one  month  later  it  was  put 
into  the  Alsace  Sector,  thereby  relieving  veteran  divisions  for  the 
battle.  At  the  beginning  of  the  great  Meuse-Argonne  offensive,  it 
was  moved  into  the  line  east  of  the  river  Meuse.  While  the  division 
remained  in  the  Corps  Reserve,  the  58th  Infantry  Brigade,  operating 
under  orders  of  the  Commander  of  the  French  18th  Division,  made  a 
surprise  attack  on  October  8th,  capturing  Malbrouck  Hill.  From 
October  10th  until  October  2drd,  the  division  took  part  in  a  series 
of  advances   to   the   depth   of  seven   kilometers,   taking  Grand

Montagne  and  the  Ridge  d'Etrayes.  These  positions  were  consoli- 
dated for  a  further  advance  when,  on  October  30th,  the  division  was 
relieved  by  the  79th. 

"It  was  gratifying  to  see  your  troops  in  such  good  physical  shape, 
but  still  more  so  to  know  that  the  moral  tone  of  all  ranks  is  so  high. 
I  am  sure  that  this  fine  condition  will  continue  to  the  end  of  their 
service  and  beyond,  as  an  exemplification  of  their  high  character  and 
slodierly  qualities.  Please  extend  to  them  my  congratulations  and 
my  hearty  thanks  for  their  splendid  work. 

Sincerely  yours, 

JoNH  J.  Pershing."

1.  Upon  arrival  in  the  new  area,  units  of  the  division  will  detrain  and 
march  to  billets  in  accordance  with  the  attached  Detraining,  Movement 
and  Billeting  Table.  Detraining  points  will  be  promptly  cleared  of  all 
baggage.  The  billets  allotted  are  about  three-fourths  command  strength. 
Shelter  tents  will  be  pitched  only  in  the  woods  or  other  places  concealed 
from  aerial  observation. 

2.  The  density  of  concentration  in  this  area  is  such  that  the  strictest 
road  discipline  must  be  enforced. 

3.  Secrecy  in  the  movement  is  essential.  It  is  desired  to  avoid  the 
appearance  that  a  new  unit  has  entered  the  area.  Movements  will  take 
place  between  the  hours  of  19:30  o'clock  and  6:00  o'clock  and  except 
during  those  hours  organizations  will  remain  concealed. 

Should  a  unit  detrain  during  daylight  hours  or  be  caught  on  the  road 
at  dawn,  it  will  go  into  concealment  in  the  vicinity  until  the  next  19:30 
hour.  Automobile  and  all  other  traffic  in  the  area  during  daylight  hours 
will  be  reduced  to  the  lowest  limit  conducive  to  liaison  and  the  trans-

I.  The  26th  Division  will  attack  27  October  18  for  the  purpose  of 
gaining  possession  of  Belleu  Bois — Carrefour  de  la  Croix  Antoine — 
Bois  d'ORMONT — the  western  triangle  of  Bois  Moirey. 

The  following  information  regarding  the  attack  has  been  furnished: 

(a)  H  Hour — 11:00  o'clock.  Rate  of  advance,  100  meters  in  six 
minutes. 

Artillery  preparation  begins  at  10:00  o'clock. 

At  9:40  o'clock  the  infantry  will  fall  back  600  yards  to  give  ground 
for  the  artillery  preparation  which  will  consist  of  three  separate  fixed 
barrages  as  follows: 

(1)  A  barrage  of  155's  which  will  fall  on  the  enemy  front  line. 

(2)  A  barrage  of  75 's  which  will  fall  on  the  present  front  line  of 
the  26th  Division  (evacuated  as  above). 

(3)  An  intense  fire  of  220's  and  other  high-power  artillery  upon 
the  objective  Bois  Belleu  and  Bois  d'ORMONT. 

[  297  ] 


APPENDIX  K 

(b)  At  11:20  o'clock,  the  barrage  of  75*s  will  lift  from  the  present 
front  line  of  the  26th  Division  and  become  a  rolling  barrage  forward 
until  beyond  the  normal  objective. 

(c)  The  objective  is  as  follows: 

Co-ordinates:  27.2-82.0;  27.8-81.8;  Belleu  Bois  inclusive — 
Carrefour  de  la  Croix  Antoinb— 28.9^0.3;  28.^79.9-68.96. 

(d)  Upon  arrival  at  the  objective  the  division  will  halt,  dig-in, 
and  organize  there  as  for  a  defense. 

II.  MISSION  OF  THE  29TH  DIVISION: 

1.  The  29th  and  26th  Divisions  are  now  in  liaison  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  27.4-81.6.  If  not  in  liaison  at  this  point  it  should  be  per- 
fected before  8:00  o'clock. 

2.  It  will  be  necessary  to  advance  the  right  of  our  line  at  the  same 
time  as  the  left  of  the  26th  Division  to  prevent  an  acute  angle  from 
forming  at  that  point  and  also  to  maintain  liaison  between  the  two 
divisions. 

3.  In  order  to  protect  the  right  of  our  line  from  the  barrage  laid 
down  by  the  26th  Division  it  will  be  necessary  to  withdraw  the  right 
elements  to  the  rear  at  the  proper  time  (viz.,  at  9:40  o'clock);  and  to 
move  them  up  with  the  adjoining  elements  of  the  26th  Division  at 
11:00  o'clock. 

4.  In  order  to  cover  this  withdrawal,  the  29th  Divisional  artillery 
will  lay  down  a  fixed  barrage  in  front  of  our  present  line  along  the 
western  edge  of  the  Bois  de  Wavrille  between  the  point  of  junction 
of  the  divisions  and  point  27.4-82.2.  This  preparation  will  be  con- 
tinued until  H  hour,  when  it  will  move  forward. 

It  is  not  thought  probable  that  the  actual  line  reached  will  be  the 
formal  line  marked  through  the  woods,  shown  as  the  objective  on  the 
left  of  the  26th  Division;  the  natural  line  of  defense  would  seem  to 
bear  off  in  a  southeasfterly  and  then  in  an  easterly  direction  along  the 
nose  of  the  hill  to  the  northwest  comer  of  Belleu  Bois.  In  such  case, 
the  advance  of  our  right  from  its  present  position  would  be  limited  in 
extent. 

III.  TROOPS: 

The  57th  Infantry  Brigade  and  its  attached  troops  and  the  divisional 
artillery  will  be  the  only  ones  concerned  in  this  movement. 
Free  use  will  be  made  of  machine  guns. 

IV.  EXECUTION  OF  THE  OPERATION: 

Commanding  General,  57th  Infantry  Brigade  will  issue  the  neces- 
sary orders  to  carry  out  the  movement  indicated  in  the  above  plan. 
The  artillery  plan  will  be  submitted  by  the  Divisional  Artillery  officer. 

V.  LIAISON: 

Combat  liaison  will  be  obtained  by  a  mixed  detachment  from  each 
division  of  one  platoon  of  infantry  and  one  section  of  machine  guns. 

[  298  ] 


APPENDIX  L 

It  is  imperative  that  combat  liaison  be  kept  with  the  26th  Division 
during  this  movement  and  it  is  primarily  the  responsibility  of  the  29th 
Division  to  see  that  it  is  kept. 

The  ravine  heading  near  the  junction  of  the  division  is  undoubtedly 
organized  and  might  contain  a  jump  off  for  a  counter  attack  on  this 
spot.  This,  however,  will  be  shelled  during  the  artillery  preparation 
but  will  be  kept  under  dose  observation  during  the  advance.

Some  Medical  Department  Staiistics 
Camp  McClellan 

This  camp  had  the  advantages  of  natural  surface  drainage,  practically 
every  organization  being  on  a  small  creek.  The  soil  of  the  camp  was  a 
mixture  of  clay  and  gravel  which,  in  wet  weather  became  very  muddy, 
and  in  dry  weather  very  dusty.  The  temperature  for  the  three  months 
covering  the  year,  1917,  varied  from  74  to  8  degrees  above  zero.  There 
was  practically  no  severe  fall  in  either  of  these  months;  and  there  were 
18  clear  days  in  November  and  15  in  December. 

The  first  installment  of  troops,  1400  in  number,  arrived  in  Camp  in 
September.  The  number  increased  to  about  £5,000  in  October  and 
about  27,000  in  November  and  December. 

It  is  noticeable  that  no  serious  epidemic  occurred  in  this  camp 
which  contained  many  seasoned  troops.  The  mean  strength  of  the 
entire  division  for  this  period  was  25,405. 

The  average  Annual  Admission  Rate  per  1000  for  the  entire 

division  for  this  period  was  (for  disease  only) 866.71 

The  Average  Non-EflFective  Rate  per   1000  for  the  entire 

division  for  this  period  was 28.50 

The  Death  Rate,  per  1000,  for  the  entire  division  for  this 

period  was .51 

The  Rate  of  Discharge  on  Surgeon's  Certificate  for  Disability 

per  1000  for  the  entire  division  for  this  period  was 13. 10 

Only  nine  cases  of  typhoid  fever  appeared  during  this  period,  all 
confined  to  one  regiment.  There  were  eight  cases  of  meningitis  from 
October  1st  to  December  31st,  and  73  cases  of  meningitis  carriers  were 
detected. 

During  the  period  from  September,  1917,  to  January,  1918,  thirteen 
deaths  occurred  as  follows: 

Meningitis,  Tubercular 3 

Meningitis,  Epidemic,  Cerebro-Spinal 1 

Meningitis,  Pneumonococcic 1 

Pneumonia,  Lobar 2 

Typhoid  Fever 1 

Gangrene  of  Lung 1 

Alcohol  Poisoning 1 

Suicide  (by  Firearms  1,  by  Hanging  1) 2 

Status  Epilepticus 1 

Total 13 

During  the  second  period  from  January  1st  to  June  1,  1918,  the 
maximum  strength  of  the  division  was  23,944,  and  the  total  number 
of  deaths  were  31,  5  due  to  injuries  and  26  to  disease.    There  were  32 

[  303  ] 


APPENDIX  0 

cases  of  meningitis,  with  only  2  deaths.    The  death  rate,  per  1000. 

was  1.32,  and  the  causes  of  death  were  as  follows: 

Lobar  Pneumonia 5 

Broncho  Pneumonia 9 

Pneumonia  following  Measles 2 

Epidemic  Meningitis 3 

Streptococcic  Infection  of  Neck 

Meylitis,  acute,  diffuse

During  the  time  the  division  was  in  traim'ng  in  the  United  States, 
a  total  of  1421  were  discharged  on  surgeon's  certificate  of  disabilit^'^ — 
220  cases  being  classified  for  domestic  service  and  ordered  for  duty 
within  the  United  States. 

AU  troops  of  both  brigades  were  examined  at  the  port  and  in  no 
case  were  any  troops  or  portions  of  organizations  retained  on  account  of 
epidemic  diseases. 

In  the  Alsace  Sector 

In  the  Alsace  Sector  the  following  casualties  were  sustained: 

Accidentally  wounded 84 

Wounded  in  action 197

Total 923 

Throughout  the  entire  period  of  the  life  of  the  division,  there  was 
no  epidemic  of  note,  while  the  number  of  deaths  from  diseases  was 
remarkably  low.

Headquarters,  29th  Division 

Camp  McClellan,  Anniston,  Ala. 

27  May  18 

To  the  Officers  and  Men  op  the  29th  Division: 

This  Division  has,  during  tlie  nine  months  of  its  existence,  gained 
for  itself  a  proud  record.    Its  members  have  been  commended  by  many 

[  304  ] 


A  PPENDIX  0 

visitors,  official  and  private,  as  well  as  by  many  other  people  who  have 
seen^  them  at  their  places.  Instead  of  being  a  menace  to  the  City  of 
Anniston,  as  many  of  its  residents  feared  at  the  time  of  organization, 
the  Division  has  been  an  example  and  a  source  of  uplift  to  the  entire 
surrounding  community,  not  only  in  behavior,  but  in  other  things  that 
go  to  make  up  good  citizenship.  The  Commanding  General  teels  a 
most  unbounded  pride  in  the  officers  and  men  with  whom  he  has  the 
honor  to  serve. 

The  Division  is  now  upon  the  eve  of  leaving  its  first  station  for 
other  and  more  serious  duty.  Its  Commander  has  the  utmost  confidence 
that  the  fine  record  made  here  will  be  carried  by  the  Division  wherever 
it  goes,  but  in  order  that  that  record  may  be  sustained  he  wishes  to 
remind  every  officer  and  soldier  that  he  individually  is  responsible  for 
the  honor  and  reputation  of  the  Division  as  a  whole. 

Any  man  who  absents  himself  without  leave,  who  becomes  intoxi- 
cated, or  who  misconducts  himself  in  any  way,  casts  a  reflection  upon 
the  entire  Division  and  upon  the  uniform  which  he  wears.  Every  non- 
commissioned officer  who  does  not  do  his  utmost  to  check  any  disorder  or 
infraction  of  discipline  is  ten  times  more  reprehensible  than  the  private. 
The  same  remark  applies  in  a  greatly  added  degree  to  commissioned 
oJBScers. 

It  is  therefore  enjoined  upon  all  officers  and  non-commissioned 
officers  while  en  route  by  rail  or  water,  and  after  landing,  to  use  the 
utmost  vigilance  to  see  that  no  man  under  their  authority  misbehaves, 
and  it  is  equally  enjoined  upon  all  privates  to  remember  their  own  re- 
sponsibility and  that  they  are  carrying  the  honor  of  the  Division  in 
their  hands. 

Members  of  the  Division  are  especially  cautioned  about  associating 
with  women  whom  they  do  not  know  and  about  conversation  on  official 
matters  with  women  or  men  who  are  strangers.  These  people  will  be 
encountered  at  the  Port  of  Embarkation,  as  well  as  on  the  other  side. 
Armies  serving  abroad  are  continually  cautioned  to  be  most  discreet  in 
their  conversation  with  all  strangers  whatsoever  and  particularly  with 
women  who  are  employed  as  spies  equally  with  men. 

It  is  confidently  believed  that  every  member  of  the  Division  will 
heed  the  words  of  Uiis  bulletin  and  conduct  himself  accordingly. 

This  bulletin  will  be  so  published  prior  to  the  departure  of  the 
Division  that  every  officer,  non-commissioned  officer  and  private  therein 
may  be  informed  of  its  contents.

20  October  18 
From:    The  Commanding  General 
To    :    The  Officers  and  Men  of  the  29th  Division 

The  Division  Commander  wishes  to  express  his  extreme  gratification 
at  the  wonderful  work  and  endurance  shown  by  the  officers  and  men  of 
the  Division  in  this,  their  first  battle. 

You  have  pushed  seven  kilometers  into  the  enemy's  lines  in  the  face 
of  stubborn  resistance  and  you  are  now  further  to  the  front  than  any 
element  of  the  17th  Corps.  You  have  captured  well  over  2000  prisoners 
and  a  large  amount  of  materiel  including  16  pieces  of  art  llery  and  250 
light  and  heavy  machine  guns.  You  have  had  hard  work  and  have  had 
to  show  great  endurance  but  there  is  work  yet  for  us  to  perform  before 
our  task  is  completely  rounded  out.  The  worst  is  well  over  but  some- 
what  still  remains  to  be  done. 

Fortunately  what  is  ahead  is  not  so  serious  or  trying  as  what  is 
already  behind. 

With  the  splendid  record  behind  you  the  Division  Commander  is 
confident  that  what  remains  will  be  done  with  the  same  spirit  as  formerly, 
so  that  when  our  part  in  the  action  is  over,  we  may  look  back  upon  a 
well-rounded  period  in  the  history  of  the  29th  Division.

At  the  time  when  the  29th  I.  D.,  U.  S.,  leaves  the  sector  of  the  17th 
A.  C,  I  wish  to  let  you  know  how  much  I  was  honored  to  have  it  tem-

On  October  8th,  one  of  its  brigades  stormed,  with  splendid  dash»  the 
difficult  height  of  Malbrouck  and  the  powerful  defenses  of  the  Bois 

de  CONSENVOYE. 

On  the  10th,  the  other  brigade  advanced  beyond  the  heights  of 
Ormont  to  capture  the  Bois  de  la  Reine. 

Since  then,  the  whole  division  was  employed,  with  splendid  per- 
severance and  unfailing  energy,  to  carry  off  the  fortiiSed  Clairiere  de 
MoLLEViLLE,  and  the  Grande  Montagne  and  Bois  d'ExRAYEs  areas. 

The  combat  and  weather  conditions  were  hard  most  of  the  time. 
The  29Ui  I.  D.,  U.  S.,  dauntlessly  overcame  them,  took  a  total  of  about 
2000  prisoners,  guns,  machine  guns  and  important  materiel. 

Will  you  Idndly  express  to  your  splendid  troops,  to  your  General 
Staff,  to  your  Services,  all,  the  thanks  of  the  General  Commanding  the 
17th  A.  C.  and  of  their  French  comrades  for  their  effective  and  ssealous

Please  believe,  my  dear  General,  in  the  expression  of  my  most

American  Expeditionary  Forces

General  Orders,  No.  59. 

Now  that  its  part  in  the  action  north  of  Verdun  is  finished,  the 
Division  Commander  wishes  to  take  occasion  to  express  his  deep  apprecia- 
tion of  the  skill,  endurance  and  courage  shown  by  the  officers  and  men 
of  the  division,  including  both  staff  and  line,  in  a  most  difficult  and 
prolonged  fight. 

Everything  was  opposed  to  our  success.  We  had  a  most  determined 
enemy  in  our  front  and  one  skilled  by  four  years  of  warfare,  whereas 
this  was  the  first  real  fight  of  our  division.  On  most  days  the  weather 
was  bad  and  the  ground  difficult,  added  to  the  fact  that  the  fighting 
was  largely  in  woods.  On  account  of  the  woods,  ravines  and  dampness, 
gassing  of  our  troops  was  easily  accomplished  and  full  advantage  of  this 
fact  was  taken  by  the  enemy  to  whom  the  use  of  gas  was  an  old  story. 

Without  exception  the  organizations  of  the  division  and  their  com- 
manders responded  heroically  to  every  call  upon  them  and  at  the  end 
of  the  fight  we  had  not  only  gained  our  objectives,  but  we  held  them  and 

[  307  ] 


APPENDIX  0 

turned  them  over  to  our  successors.  We  advanced  some  eight  kilo- 
meters through  the  enemy's  trenches,  and  captured  over  2100  prisoners, 
7  cannon,  about  200  machine  guns  and  a  large  quantity  of  miscellaneous 
military  property.  We  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  two  hostile  divisions 
withdrawn  from  our  front,  one  of  which  was  composed  of  some  of  the 
best  troops  of  the  Grerman  Army.  On  many  occasions  captured  prisoners 
stated  that  our  attack  was  so  rapid  and  our  fire  so  effective  that  they 
were  overwhelmed  and  had  nothing  to  do  but  to  retire  or  surrender. 

In  this  brief  summing  up  the  results  of  its  first  fight  the  Division 
Conmiander  feels  that  every  officer  and  man  participating*  whether  in 
planning  or  in  executing,  should  feel  a  just  pride  in  what  has  been 
accomplished.  This  is  but  repeating  the  praise  that  has  been  bestowed 
upon  the  division  by  both  American  and  French  superior  commanders.

1.  The  Army  Commander  directs  that  the  attached  summary  of 
inspection  of  the  29th  Division  be  transmitted  to  you  for  the  information 
of  the  Corps  and  Division  Commanders  and  necessary  action  looking 
to  the  correction  of  defects  noted  therein. 

2.  In  addition  to  the  comments  contained  in  the  summary  attached 
hereto,  the  Army  Commander  desires  me  to  convey  his  congratulations 
to  the  Commanding  General,  29th  Division,  on  the  general  appearance 
of  this  Division  at  the  inspection. 

S.  The  discipline,  progressiveness,  soldierly  bearing,  saluting  and 
general  appearance  of  all  the  officers  and  soldiers,  and  the  billets  and 
kitchens  of  the  Division  made  a  marked  impression  on  the  inspectors 
from  these  headquarters.  There  is  no  doubt  that  a  great  deal  of  work 
with  excellent  results  has  been  carried  on  in  this  Division  along  these 
lines.

From  :  Major  General  Charles  P.  Summerall,  Commanding  Fifth 
Army  Corps,  American  Expeditionary  Forces. 

To  :  Commanding  General  i29th  Division,  American  Expeditionary 
Forces. 

Subject:    Appreciation  of  Services. 

1.  In  accordance  with  orders  from  Headquarters  American  Ex- 
peditionary Forces,  the  29th  Division  is  relieved  from  the  5th  Corps. 

2.  The  Division  was  assigned  to  the  Corps  on  November  24,  1918, 
and  since  that  date  it  has  been  constantly  occupied  with  intensive 
training.  While  the  work  has  been  arduous  and  at  times  involved  much 
discomfort  in  severe  cold  and  inclement  weather,  the  response  has  in- 
variably been  cheerful,  zealous  and  effective.  The  pro^^re»3s  of  the 
Division  has  been  such  as  to  evince  a  superior  state  of  discipline  and 
morale.  At  the  conclusion  of  its  service  in  the  Corps,  it  is  worthy  of 
classification  as  an  assault  division. 

3.  The  Corps  Conmiander  takes  this  opportunity  of  communi- 
cating to  the  officers  and  soldiers  of  the  Division  his  high  conmiendation 
and  admiration  for  the  manner  in  which  they  have  conducted  themselves 
in  the  Fifth  Corps.  It  has  been  an  honor  to  command  such  troops  and 
in  the  training  area,  as  well  as  in  the  stress  of  battle,  they  have  shown 
themselves  worthy  of  the  trust  reposed  in  them  by  their  country.

Critique  on  Review  of  29th  Division  by  General  Pershing,  Mon- 
day 24  March  1919 

In  spite  of  adverse  weather  conditions,  which  included  mud,  rain, 
hail  and  other  well-known  products  of  French  weather,  the  review  on 
Monday  last  was  a  great  success.  General  Pershing  made  on  several 
occasions  particular  mention  of  the  magnificient  personnel  composing 
the  division,  saying  that  it  was  the  best  he  had  ever  seen. 

Although  the  troops  had  been  marching  or  standing  for  hours  they 
stood  at  the  proper  time  and  at  all  times  when  at  attention  like  rocks.. 
The  marching  of  the  infantry  under  most  adverse  conditions  was  superb. 
It  was  noticed  with  great  pleasure  that  the  men  marched  in  step  with 
the  music  whereas  but  a  few  days  before  one  command  had  been  severely 
criticized  for  failure  in  this  very  respect.  The  lines  on  passing  in  review 
were  not  perpendicular  to  the  line  of  march.  This  was  due  partly  to 
the  natural  tendency  of  troops  to  fall  behind  on  the  flank  opposite  the

reviewing  oflSicer  and  also  to  the  fact  that  the  fonnation  was  new  ta 
the  division.  It  would  be  well  on  future  occasions  to  pay  special  atten- 
tion to  this  particular  point.  The  massed  band  was  excellent,  par- 
ticularly in  view  of  the  fact  that  it  had  not  been  massed  before  for  a 
long  while.  The  arrangement  of  the  ground  and  the  police  arrange- 
ments were  perfect.  The  troops  along  the  roads  were  as  steady  and 
well  appearing  as  those  on  the  field  although  they  had  waited  for  hours 
in  cold  and  discomfort.  The  artillery  throughout  came  in  for  special 
commendation.  The  engineers  appeared  particularly  well,  which  was 
the  more  commendable  inasmuch  as  they  had  had  very  little  strictly 
military  work  for  a  long  while  due  to  the  large  amount  of  road  work 
incumbent  upon  them.  The  one  criticism  of  note  made  by  General 
Pershing  was  on  the  wheeled  transportation,  except  that  of  the  artillery, 
which  was  not  up  to  a  good  standard  or  up  to  the  ordinary  standard 
of  the  division.  Some  transportation  was  better  than  others  and  some 
was  good  in  parts  but  bad  in  other  parts.  But  with  the  exception  of 
the  artillery  it  was  not  satisfactory.  Percentage  of  attendance  to 
strength  was  also  criticized.  This  matter  has  been  commented  upon 
before. 

The  division  commander  was  particularly  pleased  with  the  prompt 
and  snappy  replies  made  by  officers  and  men  to  the  many  questions 
asked  by  the  Commander-in-Chief.  Some  of  these  replies  were  in- 
correct so  far  as  statistics  were  concerned  but  they  came  promptly 
and  snappily  showing  the  intense  desire  of  everybody  concerned  to  play 
his  part  in  the  review  up  to  the  best  standard  possible. 

On  the  whole  the  division  commander  wishes  to  heartily  congratu- 
late and  thank  the  division  for  the  splendid  appearance  that  it  made.

1.  Pursuwt  to  the  telegraphic  instructions  from  G.  H.  Q.,  A.  E.  F., 
the  ^th  Division  was  relieved  from  duty  with  this  Army  April  6,  1919. 

The  29th  Division  came  under  the  command  of  the  F^rst  Army 
September  15,  1918. 

[  310  ] 


APPENDIX  P 

The  Division  served  in  Army  Reserve  until  October  Sd  when  it 
was  marched  to  the  vicinity  of  Verdun  and  advanced  into  action,  com- 
mencing with  an  attack  on  the  morning  of  October  8th,  participating  in 
the  operations  of  the  17th  Corps  (French),  east  of  the  Meuse  River, 
until  October  30th  when  its  relief  from  duty  in  the  line  was  completed 
and  it  passed  again  to  the  reserve  of  the  Army.  During  its  service  in 
the  line  the  Division  or  units  thereof,  took  part  in  the  operations  against 
Bois  de  Chaume,  Bois  Plat  ChAne,  Molleville  Farm,  Bois  dc  la 
Reine,  Bois  d'ORMONT  and  Grand  Montagne.  These  operations  ac- 
complished an  advance  of  seven  kilometers  and  resulted  in  the  capture 
of  Molleville  Farm,  Grand  Montagne  and  the  ridge  of  d*£TRAYEs, 
a  feat  of  arms  of  which  the  Division  Commander  and  his  fine  Division 
have  cause  to  be  very  proud. 

2.  The  Army  Commander  takes  this  opportunity  to  express  his 
appreciation  of  the  services  of  the  29th  Division  while  a  part  of  this 
Army  and  wishes  it  God-speed  in  the  final  phase  of  its  services  as  a  part 
of  the  American  Expeditionary  Forces.

APPENDIX  P 

General  Headquarters,  American  ExPEDmoNARY  Forces 

General  Staff,  Second  Section 

November  28,  1918 
The  Commander-in-Chief  spoke  as  follows: 

Fellow  Soldiers: 

Never  in  the  history  of  our  country  have  we  as  a  people  come  to- 
gether with  such  full  hearts  as  on  this  greatest  of  all  Thanksgiving 
Days.    The  moment  throbs  with  emotion  seeking  to  find  full  expression. 

Representing  the  high  ideals  of  our  countrymen,  and  cherishing  the 
spirit  of  our  forefathers  who  first  celebrated  this  festival  of  thanks- 
giving, we  are  proud  to  have  repaid  our  debt  of  gratitude  to  the  land 
of  Lafayette  and  to  have  lent  our  aid  to  save  civilization  from  destruc- 
tion. 

The  unscrupulous  invader  has  been  driven  from  the  devastated 
scenes  of  his  unholy  conquest,  and  the  tide  of  conflict  which,  during 
the  dark  days  of  midsummer,  threatened  to  overwhelm  the  Allied  forces, 
has  been  turned  into  glorious  victory.  As  the  sounds  of  battle  die 
away  and  the  beaten  foe  hurries  from  the  field,  it  is  fitting  that  the 
conquering  armies  should  pause  to  give  thanks  to  the  God  of  battles, 
who  has  guided  our  course  aright. 

[Sll] 


APPENDIX  P 

Victory  was  our  goal.  It  is  the  hard  won  gift  of  the  soldier  to  his 
country.  Only  the  soldier  knows  the  cost  of  the  gift  we  now  present  to 
the  nation.  As  soldiers  inspired  by  every  spiritual  sentiment,  we  have 
each  silently  prayed  that  the  success  of  righteousness  should  be  ours. 
Today,  with  thankfulness  we  humbly  acknowledge  that  His  strength 
has  given  us  the  victory,  and  we  are  thankful  that  the  privilege  has  been 
given  us  to  serve  in  such  a  cause. 

In  this  hour  of  thanksgiving,  our  eternal  gratitude  goes  out  to 
those  heroes  who  loved  liberty  better  than  life,  and  who  sleep  yonder 
where  they  fell;  to  the  maimed,  whose  honorable  scars  testify  stronger 
than  words  to  their  splendid  valor;  and  to  the  brave  fellows  whose 
strong  relentless  blows  finally  crushed  the  enemy's  power.  Nor  in  our 
prayers  shall  we  forget  the  widow  who  freely  gave  the  husband,  more 
precious  than  her  life,  nor  those  who,  in  hidden  heroism,  have  im- 
poverished themselves  to  enrich  the  cause,  nor  our  comrades  who,  in 
more  obscure  posts  here  and  at  home,  have  furnished  by  willing  toil 
supplies  to  the  soldier  at  the  front. 

To  many  fame  has  come.  New  names  have  been  inscribed  on  the 
roll  of  the  immortals.  To  all  have  come  a  new  outlook  on  life,  a  clearer 
perspective  regarding  its  obligations,  a  more  exalted  conception  of  duty 
and  of  honor,  and  a  deeper  sense  of  responsibility  to  the  nation  and 
to  God. 

May  we  give  thanks  that  unselfish  service  has  given  us  this  new 
vision,  and  that  we  are  to  return  to  our  firesides  and  our  country  with 
higher  aims  and  a  firmer  purpose,  alike  ennobling  to  ourselves  and  to 
those  who  have  held  the  long  vigil  and  have  watched  and  prayed  for 
us  that  we  might  worthily  represent  them. 

This  spirit  that  has  won  the  victory  is  to  become  the  permanent  and 
indispensible  mainstay  of  peace  and  happiness.  It  is  not  a  matter  of 
individual  choice,  but  of  obligation,  that  we  should  proudly  carry  it 
back  with  us.  If  the  glory  of  our  military  service  has  been  the  spon- 
taneous offering  of  loyalty,  it  is  too  priceless  to  be  cast  aside  by  in- 
dulgence— ^too  sacred  not  to  be  cherished  always. 

The  nation  awaits  the  return  of  its  soldiers,  believing  in  the  stability 
of  character  that  has  come  from  self-discipline  and  self-sacrifice.  Con- 
fident of  the  new  power  that  the  stern  school  of  war  and  discipline  has 
brought  to  each  of  us,  American  mothers  await  with  loving  hearts  their 
gallant  sons. 

Great  cause,  indeed,  have  we  to  thank  God  for  the  trials  successfully 
met  and  the  victories  won.  Still  more  should  we  thank  Him  for  the 
golden  future  with  its  wealth  of  opportunity  and  hope  of  permanent 
and  universal  peace.
